Costineşti is a commune and resort in Constanţa County, Romania, located on the shore of the Black Sea. The village Schitu is included in the Costineşti commune.
It evolved from a small fisherman's village in the 1960s to summer destination, most popular with young people and students. A hotel, as well as several villa complexes were erected during the Communist era, and possessed varying degrees of style and comfort. After 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 several lodges are located.
Opposite to one of the northern beaches, the shipwreck of Evangelia, a Greek ship beached there in the late 1960s proves to be quite popular with the tourists.
Nightlife is centered mainly around the two discos (Ring and Tineretului). Because Costineşti is mostly frequented by youngsters, the atmosphere tends to be here livelier than in the other Black Sea resorts.
