Expect steep, damaged stairs down
The descent involves multiple flights of stairs in poor repair, plus rock scrambling at the bottom.
Bring water shoes for wading
The rocky seafloor and numerous submerged rocks make footwear necessary; shallow water near shore suits cautious swimming in calm conditions.

How far is the walk to the water at Playa fósil?
20 m in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Playa fósil have restrooms?

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
