The story of our sad beaches

Oh yes, we have beaches all right. But only one is virgin. Because you see, when you say you go to the beach in Romania, you just don’t expect an exotic one with white sand and perfct shores. You expect a dirty beach, extremely crowded, full of people with the mind of an insect. If that is what you are searching for you are not my ideal customer, please don’t contact me, you will find many other guides ready to take your money.

If you are searching for a different experience, if you want to connect with the sand and the sea, if you want to listen to the waves and find sea shells on the sand, if you are waiting forward to see dolphins in a lucky moment and if you have your camera ready for anything that might find a good place in your photo album, I will take you there. Not all our beaches are dirty. We still have a virgin beach, protected and untouched, beautiful and lonely, and her name is Vadu. And that’s a man’s name. No comment on that, of course.

I am not sure about the camping but for sure you cannot have a fire. You will however be able to find accommodation in the area. And that’s a place for poetry. Not that you won’t get bored if you stick around for more than 2 days but drinking a bottle of good wine on the beach, in a cool summer night, find an old boat to sleep in, meet some good people, spend quality time with your higher self, that is something to do once at every 10 years. To see what changed, to see what’s left, to take a good look at yourself out of the influence of society that most definitely distorsions your image. To see how you stand today. A sunset at the Vadu beach is a conversation with yourself.

And the fish soup. You have to taste the fish soup. Any fisherman in the area will be proud to invite you home and put on the table his best fish soup made using his original recepy.

Who would refuse that ?
