Baia di Mezzavalle
Marche
Tucked between headlands on the Conero coast, this cove requires a forested descent through wild fig trees and Aleppo pines before opening onto a narrow pebble beach. Its relative remoteness keeps crowds thinner than at the park's more famous coves, and the water stays notably clear thanks to the lack of easy boat access. The climb back up is the price of the solitude.
