Spiaggia di Portonovo

A pebbled cove under the Monte Conero cliff, 20 minutes south of Ancona. The water is the clearest on the Adriatic — chalk-cliff turquoise, almost Mediterranean blue. Park up top, walk down. Bring water. Eat lunch at one of the beach trattorias. Closed in winter; perfect in June and September.
