Wild beach swim + sunset birdwatching on the Prut.

Why it’s worth visiting

Good if you want a large lake without malls and restaurants - wild beaches, fishing and birdwatching at sunset over the Prut. It pairs naturally with the Costești rock formation.

The story

Costești-Stânca Lake is a dam-reservoir built between Moldova and Romania on the Prut river (1978), covering 5900 ha. The largest reservoir on the territory of Moldova. Wild beaches (no built infrastructure), relatively clean water, fishing with permit (catfish, carp, crucian). Major bird migration point - spring and autumn bring swans, ducks, geese. NOT to be confused with Complexul Turistic Costești (campsite next door, separate entry).
