You arrive as the road opens onto a flat, salty horizon and the Black Sea lays a cooling hand against the sky. Seagulls wheel above the promenade; the ruined silhouette of Constanța’s Art Nouveau casino stares out over the waves. A private car from Bucharest makes this coastline accessible in roughly two hours, turning an otherwise distant shore into a one-day coastal encounter.
