Eforie (historical names (for Eforie Sud): B?ile Movil?, Carmen-Sylva, Vasile Roait?) is a town and a holiday resort on the
Black Sea shore, in
Constan?a County ,
Northern Dobruja ,
Romania . It is located about 14 km (8.7 mi) south of
Constan?a .
Techirghiol Lake lies nearby.
Eforie Sud, the southern part of the town, was founded by the aristocrat Ion Movil? in 1899, when he erected a hotel named B?ile Movil? (Movil? Spa). In 1928, the spa was renamed Carmen-Sylva , after the pen name of Queen Elisabeth of Romania .

In 1950, after the establishment of the
Communist regime , the name of the city was changed again to
Vasile Roait? to honor a railway worker shot dead during the
Grivi?a strike of 1933 . In 1962, the city was renamed yet again to Eforie Sud.
In 1966, the city of Eforie was created by merging Eforie Sud with the northern resort Eforie Nord. Formally, the city is composed of Eforie Sud, the administrative centre, and Eforie Nord, a dependent village. Many other hotels were built here over the years, most of them during the communist regime.
