The Romanian coastline has a total length of 245 kilometers, being delimited to the north by the border with Ukraine and to the south by the border with Bulgaria. It is dominated by the Danube Delta and the lakes on the coast, starting with Capul Midia in Navodari and Vama Veche, which is on the border with Bulgaria.
The Romanian Coast, being dominated by fine sandy beaches, and having a temperate climate, low salinity water and east-facing beach, attracts many tourists.
But there is a difference between the beaches in the north of the coast, represented by the tourist areas of Navodari, Constanta and Mamaia, and those in the south. Because the northern beaches have a uniform shoreline, while the sandy stretches in the south are narrower and have more sectors, being furrowed by bays, the preferred areas for tourists are the northern ones.
On the Romanian coast the sun shines an average of 2500 hours a year, similar to the beaches of Croatia and the Mediterranean coast.
