Swimming at Playa Punta Rasa requires understanding its unique geography as the meeting point of Samborombón Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, creating variable conditions. Waters can have stronger currents and changing characteristics compared to typical beach areas. This natural zone attracts nature enthusiasts more than swimmers. Lifeguard presence may be limited given its less developed character. If swimming, exercise extreme caution, check conditions locally, avoid swimming alone, and be aware that this area emphasizes scenic and ecological value over recreational swimming. Safer swimming options exist at San Clemente del Tuyú's main beaches nearby.

Playa Punta Rasa shines during shoulder seasons—spring (September-November) and autumn (March-May)—when migratory birds pass through and weather remains pleasant for exploration without summer crowds. Sunset viewing and photography opportunities excel year-round, though summer (December-February) offers warmest conditions. The area's ecological significance means nature observers visit throughout the year based on wildlife patterns. For Instagrammable moments with fewer people, weekdays in spring or autumn provide optimal lighting and tranquility. Winter (June-August) offers solitude and dramatic coastal scenery but cold temperatures; birders may still find this period rewarding depending on migration cycles.
