Passetto

Excellent place to relax, and have a view of nature with cool fresh air.

Beautiful sea view. Small area to swim. But you can see beautiful sunset. The area popular in locals for evening barbeque , boating and fishing. Best place for family and couples to see beautiful beach and to relax.

Great place to see the beach in a hurry.

Beautiful!!

Public beach with realy nice view and quiet place at evening

I'll be honest, we planned to go to Mezzavelle beach (known as one of the top beaches in the area) so being told when we turned up there that you had to book and it was all sold out that day was a major disappointment having driven for an hour and a quarter with 3 small children!), BUT in the end, having this beach recommended as an alternative was brilliant! You get a lift down to the beach (an event in itself - but note you need coins for the ticket machine - €1 each return ticket for ages 6+) and then it's a weird (and fairly small) concrete and pebble beach but don't let that put you off! The water is so clear and our two boys (5 and 7, both pretty confident swimmers) loved just swimming out with one of us and looking at all of the amazing fish in the water. We had shoals of little fish swimming past us, saw a big jellyfish or two, crabs, bigger more colorful fish and other fish feeding on the seabed. It was a real experience which we probably wouldn't have got at a bigger, busier, sandy beach as the pebbley seabed. Take water shoes if you have them, and definitely goggles or masks. And if you have them, nets and buckets, as a fair few of the Italian children were enjoying catching little fish and crabs in buckets and watching them swim around before releasing them. There were toilets (not very pleasant but at least they were there), and a cafe/ice cream shop (we didn't try it though). The water was unbelievably warm - maybe 28/29' and just so clear! A great few hours and some amazing memories of swimming with fish. Would highly recommend as a very different beach experience!

Really beautiful. There's an elevator at the white building, and for 1 Euro you can get to the beach without having to climb stairs.

Iconic and Monumental Passetto is the identity of Ancona. The spot has restaurants nearby and vast view of the sea, access to the beach and other services.
