Costinești rewards walkers. Here is how to spend a perfect day, starting from Luna Marina on Strada Pescărușului.
Morning: Coffee and the Obelisc
Start at the Moon Lounge — open from 7am with filter coffee and fresh juice. Walk two minutes to the Obelisc, the concrete seafront landmark that has defined Costinești since the 1970s. Continue to Plaja Costinești for a morning swim.
Afternoon: Explore and eat
Grab lunch at one of the beach bars along the promenade. Walk to Lacul Costinești for a change of scenery — a quiet freshwater lake just behind the dunes. Rent a bike or simply wander the back streets of the old resort.
Evening: Sunset and dinner
Return to the beach for sunset over the Black Sea. Costinești’s restaurants come alive after dark — try fresh seafood, Romanian grills, and local wine. Walk four minutes home to Luna Marina.
