Check a tide table before going.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Don&#039;t touch corals&#039;&#039;&#039; and avoid stepping on living reef surfaces<br /> * Wear closed-toe shoes with grip — wet rocks are extremely slippery<br /> * The Humboldt Current upwelling makes the water nutrient-rich; biodiversity is higher than you&#039;d expect for a desert coast<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Fossil Hunting (La Peninsula)|Fossil Hunting]] — Anconcito cliffs also have marine fossils<br /> * [[Snorkeling (La Peninsula)|Snorkeling]] — underwater view of the same reef areas<br /> * [[Outdoor Activities (La Peninsula)]] — full activities index<br /> <br /> [[Category:Outdoor Activities]]<br /> [[Category:La Peninsula]]<br /> [[Category:Peninsula]]<br /> [[Category:Anconcito]]<br /> [[Category:REMACOPSE]]<br /> &lt;/translate&gt;</div>
