Costineşti is a commune and resort in Constanta County, Romania, located
on the shore of the Black Sea, about 30 kilometres south of the county
seat, Constanta. It consists of two villages: Costinesti and Schitu.
Costineşti village was previously called Mangeapunar (until
1840), Büffelbrunnen (1840–1940) and Libertatea (1960–68?). In the
1960s, it evolved from a small fishing village to a summer destination,
most popular with young people and students. A hotel and several villa
complexes were built in the Communist era, and featured varying
degrees of style and comfort. Since the Romanian Revolution of 1989,
some of them have been modernized, and private construction, especially
to the north of the resort, has taken off.
The resort also has a small inland lake, around which there are several
lodges.
Lying off one of the northern beaches is the shipwreck of the Greek
cargo ship E Evangelia (originally the UK refrigerated cargo ship Empire
Strength). She was beached there in 1968 and is quite popular with
tourists.
