Spiaggia di Mezzavalle, Ancona
Marche
Spiaggia di Mezzavalle below Monte Conero south of Ancona is accessible only by 200 steps from the Conero cliff top or by boat — a natural beach of pebbles and limestone cliffs with no services. The water is crystal Adriatic. The beach is surrounded by Aleppo pine and Mediterranean maquis. Dogs welcome. Eleonora's falcon flies above. The descent is steep but the beach rewards immediately.
