A visit was made to Puntala Camp & Resort in April 2023

Registration and booking for accommodation will be open from 1 November 2023. 

There is an exclusive accommodation booking period from 1 November to 1 December for the Finn Masters, which gives us the opportunity to have the first choice, before it is opened to other customers. While there is plenty of capacity, it is recommended to book during the period to guarantee your preferred choice of accommodation.

Puntala Camp & Resort
The resort is located around 140 km south of Pisa in the region of Grosseto on the Tyrrhenian coastline. If you are travelling from the Finn Gold Cup in Anzio the distance is around 270 km, a 3.5 hours’ drive.
The region is typical of the Tuscany countryside, expansive farmland with pine forests bordering the coastline. The camping resort is an oasis for the traveller, off the beaten track with its own unspoilt sandy beach. 

The resort has an abundance of camping emplacements for tents, caravans and motor homes, together with cabin bungalows/lodges, Airstream campers and glamping pods. Since we were last there, they have expanded the range of cabins and there are now many brand-new cabins with double rooms with ensuite bathrooms. Other facilities include two restaurants, coffee and bar facilities and sports facilities. Also new this year is a stunning beach bar about 100 metres from the main gate to the beach.

Boats/Trailers

It is proposed on entering the site you will be guided to a boat drop off/ unloading area near the beach, for the boats to be offloaded and then taken to the allotted spaces on the beach. The cars and trailers will then move to the front where there is extensive storage and parking. Campers will proceed to their camping pitches. At the close of the event the boats will need to be taken by hand to the loading area at the front of the site. Vehicle access will be restricted at this time. A shuttle service will be arranged for the Legends. We also hope to have crane and forklift assistance.

Launching of the boats will be from the beach with the assistance of matting. The launching trolleys will be kept in assigned groups on the beach. We are working with the resort to plan storage on the beach in the most efficient manner. A line of buoys with tying off points will again be placed 30-40 metres off the beach to aid launching.

Restaurants/Bars/ On site Supermarket

The options for food are:  Restaurant. Take away. Cook at home. BBQ areas

The site has two restaurants, with takeaway pizza, and one beach bar. There are another four restaurants within cycling distance (2-4 km). Many other bars and restaurants can be found at Punta Ala 8km, Scarlino 8km and Follonica 12km.

It is proposed to have a pre-booking system for the onsite restaurants with two sittings. It’s also proposed to have beer vouchers, which can be bought to supplement those in your welcome pack, to reduce serving times at the bar and beer stations.
