Gulpiyuri beach, in the municipality of Llanes, north of Naves, is a small inland beach declared a natural monument on 26 December 2001 and part of the Protected Landscape of the Eastern Coast of Asturias. It measures about 50 metres long by 30 wide, depending on the tide.
It lies inland, among meadows, and is a karst sinkhole: a sea cave collapsed and left a circular hollow about 50 metres across, 100 metres from the coast. Seawater enters through a connection with the coast, the tides can be seen and the sand is fine; it is linked to the Bufones de Arenillas.
It can only be reached on foot, from San Antolín beach or from Naves, and there is a car park 200 metres away. It has no surf and is well sheltered from the wind; its shallow depth only allows you to cool off lying down.
