Why it's on the list

It links the village to the beach, and in summer the boat to the wreck leaves from its canal next to the Obelisk.

About the place

The lake is a liman, an old valley mouth closed off by sand, covering about 7 hectares with shallow water. The strip of sand separating it from the sea is about 1.5 km long. The water is salty, and a thick layer of mud has built up on the bottom.

Villas, terraces and the Summer Theatre stand on its shores, with the Obelisk on the sea side. In summer a motorboat leaves from the landing stage by the canal and goes out to sea to the wreck, a trip of about 40 minutes; in 2026 it was already running on 1 May. Footpaths, cycle lanes and a viewpoint have been announced for the lakeshore.

Good to know

  • The boat to the wreck runs only in season; ask at the landing stage near the Obelisk for departure times.
  • The For You terrace, next to the Summer Theatre, looks over the lake.
  • The Costinești Tabără rail halt is right by the lake's western shore, if you come by train.
