Playa de Gulpiyuri is a flooded sinkhole with an inland beach near Llanes in Asturias, northern Spain, about 100 meters from the Cantabrian Sea. Roughly 40 meters long, it is fully tidal, connected to the sea through tunnels carved by salt water that let waves from the Bay of Biscay reach the hidden strip of sand. It is a popular natural tourist attraction and is protected as a natural monument within Spain's regional network of protected natural areas.
