A beach with no sea in sight: Gulpiyuri sits in a sinkhole a hundred metres inland, filled through underground tunnels that funnel the Cantabrian swell into a meadow. It's tiny — barely forty metres — and only really swimmable around high tide, but there's nowhere else quite like it. Walk in across the fields from Naves and combine it with the surf town of Llanes for lunch.
