Villas in Punta Ala
Punta Ala is a marina resort on the Maremma coast, with a sandy public beach about 6 km long and scrub and pine forest behind it. Homes are mostly roomy with gardens, and few have a private pool. Most of it was built from the 1960s, so do not expect an old village.

About Punta Ala
Punta Ala sits at the foot of the northern slopes of a promontory of the same name, as a frazione of Castiglione della Pescaia. It grew mainly from the 1960s on an architect's plan, which is why it has a marina, a polo club and a golf club rather than a village square. The marina was once home to Luna Rossa, the yacht that raced in the 2000 America's Cup, and the Yacht Club Punta Ala runs sailing regattas. The public beach is sandy and runs about 6 km towards Cala Civette and Cala Violina, with beach establishments and parking. Near the marina there is a small rocky beach run by a beach club. Homes are spread through the resort and its surroundings over about 5 km, and most have a garden. A good number sleep eight or more. Only a few hundred people live here all year.

Is the beach at Punta Ala sandy?
Mostly. The public beach runs about 6 km towards Cala Violina and is sandy, with scrub and pine forest behind. The small beach by the marina is rocky and run by a beach club, so you pay for an umbrella and lounger there.
Is Punta Ala a village or a resort?
A resort. It is a frazione of Castiglione della Pescaia that grew largely in the 1960s under an architect's plan, with a marina, a polo club and a golf club, and only a few hundred people live here all year.
Punta Ala or Castiglione della Pescaia?
Punta Ala suits a marina-and-pine-forest setting, while Castiglione della Pescaia is an old fishing village with cobbled streets and a medieval castle. They share a commune, so you can stay in one and visit the other.
How do you reach Cala Barbiere from Punta Ala?
By a trail that starts at a gravel car park, and the cove is near the centre. The harder-to-reach Cala Tartana and Cala Tartanella are best seen by boat.
Is there sailing at Punta Ala?
Yes. The marina was once home to Luna Rossa, which raced in the 2000 America's Cup, and the Yacht Club Punta Ala holds sailing regattas, so boats are a big part of the place.
