Can you swim at Punta Morena?

Not in the ocean. There is a real surf break here, with powerful waves and rip currents, and no lifeguards. The saltwater pools on site are the safe place to get wet.

No fixed pass. You use the pools and loungers as a restaurant and bar customer, so budget for food and drinks.

Can I learn to surf here?

Yes. There is a surf shop on site arranging boards and lessons. Check the swell first, since the break works best on an easterly.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, because of the saltwater pools and slide. Keep children out of the ocean itself.

Bring cash. The east coast runs on generator power and card facilities are unreliable.
