Nistru Beach

This is a surprisingly beachy beach when you consider it’s at least 300km from the sea. It’s located at the banks of the river Nistru which is the border between the republic of Moldova and the autonomous region of Transnistria, so besides a nice trip to the beach you can also have a view on the complicated political situation in Moldova.

The beach is really nice and the atmosphere is relaxed. I went there on a sunny day, and the place was packed with people. You can wear usual swimclothes/bikini. At times there will be contests arranged by the local franchise of the Romanian TV station Pro TV. Usually this will be dancing contests and such.

The beach is easily accessed with mini-bus from Chisinau (30 minutes).
