Plaja Vadul lui Vodă
The river beach at Vadul lui Vodă, on the Dniester
A day of beach and barbecue on the bank of the Dniester
Worth it in season for a day by the water near Chișinău, especially on a weekday. Reviews warn about the currents in the Dniester and about parking at weekends.
Vadul lui Vodă beach, on the bank of the Dniester, is described by one visitor as the only beach with imported sand in the country. It is crowded at weekends and much quieter on weekdays, and one reviewer explicitly recommends weekdays. Mind the currents: one visitor warns that the Dniester has strong currents. There is a water patrol and lifeguards, described as helpful, but the secured swimming area is considered too narrow. You can eat on site and it is a good spot for a barbecue. The sand is described as poor quality, and at weekends parking is hard to find.
