Playa de Gulpiyuri—a beach without the sea

Playa de Gulpiyuri or 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 m 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, and 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 m in length, there is occasional surf in the shallow water.
