Those visiting Mamaia generally come for two reasons: its white sandy beaches and happening nightlife. The place embodies an atmosphere of play all day and party all night. The beach season is at its best between mid-May and late September, when average daytime temperatures are 25 to 30 degrees Celsius (or 78 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit). The water usually stays warm until late autumn. The nightlife is also at its peak during the summer season due to the flux of holidaymakers.
For those who wish to see some of the sights of the surrounding area, Constanta to the south is home to the National History and Archaeology Museum as well as important landmarks like Ovid's Square, the Genoese Lighthouse, the St. Peter & Paul Orthodox Cathedral, the House with Lions, and the Roman Mosaics.
