This small town is popular in the summer because it offers a mix of beautiful beaches where you can relax, swim, or just enjoy the sun. The waters of the Black Sea are usually calm and warm during the summer, making it perfect for a day by the sea.

Mangalia is also known for its marina and shipyard. The marina is a small but vibrant port where you can see various boats and yachts. It’s a great place to take a walk and enjoy the seaside atmosphere. The shipyard is another interesting spot, especially if you’re lucky enough to see some of the massive ships that are built or repaired there. These ships often travel across the world’s oceans, and seeing them up close is a memorable experience.

The highlight of these tours is visiting the shipyard in Mangalia. If you’re lucky, you might spot some massive ships that travel across the world’s oceans. During our boat tour around the port, we got really close to two of these large ships docked at the shipyard.

After passing the second ship, I noticed another one docked a bit further away. Unfortunately, the captain decided it was time to head back, so I could only take a few distant photos of that ship and the beautiful sunset. It was my first time seeing such enormous man-made structures up close, and the experience was truly unforgettable.

Before we returned to our starting point, our boat sailed right past the Mangalia Marina. This marina is relatively small compared to others, but it has a charming and cozy feel. At that time, the port was filled with many smaller boats, all neatly docked. The sight of these boats lined up along the docks added to the picturesque atmosphere of the port. It was a peaceful and pleasant way to end our tour, giving us one last chance to enjoy the beauty of Mangalia from the water.
