What’s the best time to visit Mamaia?

The peak season is from mid-July to late August, with very warm weather and plenty of events – but also very few risks of rain and cloudy days. This is when I recommend visiting, even though it’s also when the prices are the highest and it’s most crowded, too.

Officially, the season begins in early June and ends in mid-September, but the weather is usually unpredictable, potentially colder , while the sea temperature is also lower by July.

However, recent years saw good weather spread well up to late September, with warmer days and water than the average.

And if you’re in Mamaia, maybe you’re planning a trip to Danube’s Delta too – make sure to read my article about the best time of the year to visit it.
