Mamaia resort was gifted
with one of the largest beaches in the whole Europe and it is the only resort
in Europe to have the pure white sand only found in tropical places such as
Hawaii.
The beach covers an area of almost 10 km, has a width that ranges between 100 and 300m and
is covered with very fine soft white sand. The coastal
platform is
characterized by the smooth slope, the sea floor by the lack
of rocks therefore the
entry in the sea is done smoothly, the depth of the sea growing gradually on a
rather long distance. T
he
sea is great offering funny, small waves and the view (especially at sunrise)
is fantastic. Lovers and the kids enjoy collecting shells and making
sand castles or sculptures
