👍👍 The "Genovese lighthouse" was actually build in the fifties. The whole ensemble, the "maritime arena" was completed in the 60s.

    The "Genovese lighthouse" was actually build in the fifties. The whole ensemble, the "maritime arena" was completed in the 60s. But I guess it reminded people of the actual Genovese pier and lighthouse from the city's hayday, before the 13th century. Now those structures are sunk, but apparently they were still visible sometimes, before the big renovation. Someone wrote on the wall of the lighthouse "good kissing spot", and I guess they were right. Best time to visit is at sunrise and at sunset, when the water of the harbour are alight with many bright colors. You're very close to the town, but far enough that you won't be able to hear its noise, just the sea. Moonrises are spectacular too. Other thing to look for is the "wild" life: a big tribe of swans, always on the lookout for gullible tourists willing to feed them, and a huge tribe of cats that found a home on the pier.

    Communist old city. Awful for tourists.

    Nice place to enjoy the view

  • 4/5 Robert P. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice walk to a small old sea mark (and a new one, close to it, but not available for visiting), located in a small town located on the Romanian seaside.

  • 4/5 Paula B. 5 years ago on Google
    Very good access,both by foot and car. Worth the walk/ride. Excellent for photosoots. Children must be closely supervised. Very romantic.

  • 3/5 Adrian C. 5 years ago on Google
    Hard to visit at night. No pedestrian lighting. No lighting on the lighthouse either. Nice view of the port. Could be considered romantic viewpoint.

  • 3/5 Laura B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very small and underwhelming. If you are already in the area it's a pleasant walk there but not worth a drive just to see it.

  • 4/5 Andrei O. 6 years ago on Google
    Great place for sightseeing, long walks. If you are close by take a few minutes to see what Mangalia City has to offer.

  • 4/5 Claudiu B. 5 years ago on Google
    It is a must see location in this town. The view is awesome. Only one problem: te road that leads to the lighthouse is quite bumpy.

👍👍 Mangalia Port is nice place. You can enjoy your weekend with the friends and family. Is there anything you want for opportunities and relax. My friend said is the best location from Romania to visit. I hope you are available to drink a good 🍻🍺 beer near to the Black Sea.

👍👍 I recently visited this fantastic beach that's perfect for everyone, whether you're a family, a couple, or flying solo. The water is crystal clear, inviting for a refreshing swim, and the soft sand is perfect for building sandcastles or simply lounging in the sun. It's a great place to unwind, play...

😐 Nice place for the kids. A few attractions though. There are a few restaurants and souvenir shops open at night. Remember to bring cash because they don't accept paying by cards.

👍👍 The museum is amazing. There are very nice artifacts especially in the underground room and there are many of them that were influenced by the Greek history. The personnel was friendly and always willing to help and also the souvenirs were quite different from everything else at the seaside.

🫤 It is one of the most poorly managed beaches on the seaside. There is no nautical activity, the food on the three terraces is not too tasty. Sometimes music is totally inappropriate, they even played Christmas songs. Parking spaces are all occupied by the hotels. I recommend the great beach between...
