After Cloud gets his new outfit, switch the perspective to Aerith, Tifa and Red XIII. Each of them will be given a few tasks before you can unlock Tifa and Aerith’s beachwear. One involves the group running around the Costa del Sol to photograph some unusual cacti. It may be a little difficult to spot them at first, but this guide will list all of their locations. So if you can’t wait to see the girls in their resort wear, you’re in luck.

How to find the cacti on the Costa del Sol

There are only four cacti that you need to photograph as Aerith or Tifa. You can press the D-Pad to the left to bring up the unique map with Cactuar locations. L1 enlarges the map even further. We’ve marked the location of each Cactuar Caper hotspot on the in-game map here:

Contrary to what you might think, you are not photographing the green cacti, but rather the purple/pink ones that are usually nearby. Once you are in range of a Cactuar Caper, a camera icon will appear at the top center of your screen. Use the D-Pad to pull the camera up and zoom in on the Cactuar until the percentage display in the camera’s viewfinder matches.

Near where you activate the quest to photograph the cacti, you will see two docks. Go to the left side facing the sea and you will see a pink cactus painted on a rock. Take a photo and move on to the next one.

If you go to where you previously went to the beach as Cloud before switching to Aerith and Tifa, you will spot the next Cactuar on the “Surf & Suntan” sign.

If you head southwest from where you get the Cactuar quest, near the Run Wild mini-game board, you will spot a pink Cactuar on some rocks overlooking the ocean.

To reach the final Cactuar, return to the boat you arrived on, but do not go all the way to the boarding entrance. Instead, check out the stretch of beach with some shops (southeast of it). Chadley stands) and look for the southernmost fire hydrant. There you will find a pink cactuar spray painted on.


There’s a lot of fun to be had on the Costa del Sol, even if there are strange dress codes on the beach. What mini-games are there? FF7Did you like the famous beach resort of Ås the most?
