Review:
Located in the spectacularly beautiful Bay of Portonovo and surrounded by steep cliffs dropping dramatically into the blue Adriatic, Mezzavalle Beach is the first beach on the journey north from Ancona. The long and narrow smooth-pebbled beach has occasional stretches of sand.
It is wild and secluded and can be reached only on foot or by boat. A narrow steep trail leads down to the sea from the car park at Portonovo square. There is a small bar and bathrooms with showers, but bring your own lounge chairs and umbrella. The water is clear and calm, perfect for a leisurely swim to cool off after the hike down the cliff.
