FF7 Rebirth Cactuar Locations in Costa del Sol and Hidden Spots

Guides

Discover the sunny shores of Costa del Sol in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, where a quirky quest awaits: hunting down four elusive Cactuar stickers hidden in unexpected spots. From the purple Surf & Suntan sign to a red fire hydrant by the docks, each Cactuar demands a perfectly zoomed-in snapshot to unlock a special Companion Card for Aerith-and with it, exclusive beachwear to brighten your adventure. Ready your camera and explore every corner of this vibrant town to complete the Cactuar Caper!

While the game will tell you the approximate areas you can find each Cactuar in Costa del Sol, some of them can be hard to spot. Below, we list out where to find all Cactuars in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.


Costa del Sol Cactuar sticker locations in FF7 Rebirth

In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the Costa del Sol Cactuar stickers are hidden in four specific locations that players must photograph to complete the “Cactuar Caper” quest. The first sticker is found on a rock face near the Run Wild minigame, requiring about 10% zoom. The second is on a red fire hydrant near the southern docks, with a 30% zoom needed. The third sticker is located on a concrete wave breaker at the end of the eastern wooden pier, requiring 70% zoom. The fourth and final sticker is on the “Surf and Suntan” sign at the northern beach entrance, where 40% zoom is necessary. After capturing all four photos with the correct zoom levels, players return to the studio employee to receive a Companion Card for Aerith, which unlocks her beachwear outfits.

You can see the approximate locations of the four Cactuar stickers on the map below:

We’ve numbered them for the sake of organization, but you do not have to find the Cactuars in any specific order.

Cactuar #1: On the beach sign

This Cactuar is on the “Surf and Suntan” sign that signals the entrance to the beach.

Cactuar #2: On a cliff face

This Cactuar is on a rock up the cliffside near the Run Wild minigame.

Cactuar #3: On a fire hydrant

This tiny Cactuar is on a fire hydrant by the pier marking entrance to Costa del Sol.

Cactuar #4: On the wave breaker

This Cactuar is on a wave breaker by the eastern piers in Costa del Sol.

After turning in the photos, you’ll get a companion card for Aerith that you can trade in for a summer outfit.


Where are the hidden Cactuar locations that unlock Aerith’s beachwear in FF7 Rebirth

The four hidden Cactuar locations in Costa del Sol that unlock Aerith’s beachwear in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are:

  1. Top pier on the east side of Costa del Sol: At the very end of the pier, zoom your camera to about 70% and snap a photo of the pink Cactuar picture there.

  2. On the large blue “Surf and Suntan” sign in the northern part of Costa del Sol: Zoom to around 40% and take a picture of the pink Cactuar on the sign.

  3. On a rock face near the Run Wild minigame in the southwestern area of Costa del Sol: Look for the yellow “Costa del Sol” sign, then turn left to find the pink Cactuar on the rock. Zoom to about 10% to capture it.

  4. On a fire hydrant by the crouching children on the southern docks of Costa del Sol, between the item vendor and the helipad: Zoom to around 30% and photograph the pink Cactuar there.

After photographing all four Cactuars, return to the studio employee by the changing booths on the eastern side of Costa del Sol to complete the “Cactuar Caper” quest and receive a Companion Card for Aerith. This card unlocks her beachwear outfits, including the Floral Delight and Pink Mermaid swimsuits.

Where exactly do I need to stand to photograph the pink Cactuar on the pier

To photograph the pink Cactuar on the pier in Costa del Sol in FF7 Rebirth, you need to:

  • Go to the very end of the top pier on the east side of Costa del Sol.

  • Stand at the pier’s end, facing the pink Cactuar picture located on a stone wave-breaking dolos (rock) sticking out of the water.

  • Set your camera zoom to around 70% to get the Cactuar fully in frame.

  • Snap the photo once the outline turns green to successfully capture the pink Cactuar.

Make sure not to confuse this with a green Cactuar with pink wings on the other pier, as only the pink Cactuar counts toward the quest.
