Vehicle access to beaches in Romania is strictly prohibited according to the legislation in force. This prohibition is regulated by Emergency Ordinance no. 19/2006 on the use of the Black Sea beach and the control of activities carried out on the beach. According to this ordinance, the movement or parking of vehicles on beaches with tourist destination is prohibited, except for those that ensure operational interventions within the Ministry of Administration and Interior and beach maintenance equipment belonging to the Dobrogea - Litoral Water Basin Administration . Violation of these provisions constitutes a misdemeanor and is punishable by fines ranging from 10.000 to 20.000 lei for individuals or legal entities. In protected areas, such as the wild beaches of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (for example, Vadu and Corbu), the rules are even stricter.
In tests with the SUV on the beach
The photos were taken on the beach promenade between Eforie Nord and Eforie Sud. Most likely, the driver and the other man were testing the Toyota SUV, registered with red numbers. And as if we are in a “No Man's Land”, and everyone allows themselves to break the law knowing that the authorities sometimes sleep in their boots, the best place to test the car was right on the beach. I leave here the photos taken by a witness! I allow myself to leave the registration number visible precisely so that those from the Local/National Police and Apele Române can also apply the maximum sanction.
