Jupiter Beach, nestled within the Jupiter - Cap Aurora resort, is a well-known destination situated 5 km from Mangalia, between the resorts of Neptun and Venus. This beach, once part of two separate resorts, Jupiter and Cap Aurora, has now merged to form a single entity. The beach is nestled in a scenic natural environment that includes features such as a long cliff, Lake Tismana, and the Comorova Forest. The site is recommended for both relaxing vacations and treatments, thanks to the therapeutic benefits of the Black Sea water, the rich maritime climate filled with saline aerosols, and peat mud reserves.
The beach stretches along the length of the two original resorts and continues from the beach in Neptun. Jupiter Beach is known for its wide expanse and fine sand, making it an excellent spot for swimming. On the other hand, Cap Aurora's beach is narrow and conveniently located near the hotels. However, due to erosion, the beach in Cap Aurora has become increasingly rocky.
The resort offers a variety of accommodation options, including large three-star hotels, new villas in the Zodiac Holiday Village, and lower-cost camping options. For entertainment, visitors can enjoy several bars and clubs, tennis courts, football and mini-golf fields, bowling alleys, an open-air cinema, and swimming pools. Water sports can also be practiced in the sea and in Lake Tismana. Additionally, the Mangalia Stud Farm, known for its exceptional breed of Arabian horses, offers horseback riding and carriage rides along the Black Sea.
The resort is also home to the Comorova Forest, the only forest on the Romanian Black Sea coast. Despite a significant portion of it being deforested, it remains a cool oasis during the hot summer days.
Jupiter Beach is known for its clear waters and great sand, free of stones. It is equipped with plenty of sunbeds for visitors to relax on, although it can become somewhat crowded, especially in the afternoons. There is a beach bar on-site for refreshments. Please note that a city tax may apply for beach access. Despite some areas being overcrowded with sunbeds and lacking sea access, the beach remains a popular spot for families.
Jupiter Beach amenities include loungers.
You can enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the bars situated on the beach.
Visitor reviews highlight the beach's great sand and clear, stone-free waters which make it ideal for swimming. Many visitors also appreciate the abundance of sunbeds, although some find the beach to be crowded. However, complaints have been made about the overuse of sunbeds, especially in areas with no sea access, and the imposition of a city tax without noticeable improvements to the beach.
Visitors to Jupiter Beach often stay in the Zodiac Holiday Village, which offers new villas conveniently located near the beach. Alternatively, many choose to stay in the nearby resort towns of Neptun and Venus, which are known for their own attractions and are just a short distance away.
