Playa de Gulpiyuri, a Beach Without the Sea
Playa de Gulpiyuri or the Gulpiyuri Beach is a shell shaped
little beach located in the middle of a grassy meadow, near Llanes, a
small town on the north central coast of Spain. The beach is located 100
meters from the sea but connected by a network of underground caves.
You won’t see the vast ocean along the shores here but instead, the
sight of a gorgeous little cove will greet you. Nevertheless, it’s a
beach a waves still lap up against the shore as water from the Bay of
Biscay continues to enter through the underground caves. While the beach
is only 40 meters in length, there are occasionally surf in the shallow
water.
