About the beach

Punta Ala beach, within Castiglione della Pescaia (the province of Grosseto, Tuscany), is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.

“Punta Ala beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.

The beach faces west (281°). It is most sheltered when the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.

Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.

Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
