Yes, WAVES!!!!


Playa De Gulpiyuri is a small STRANGE beach in the middle of a meadow just about 300 ft from the seashore (Cantabrian Sea) in Llanes, Spain.   The beach is only about 1200 feet in length and located in the  middle of a MEADOW!!!, however it produces small WAVES!!!!  Yes WAVES!!!!!  The sinkhole is connected to the sea by a series of underground tunnels that constantly feed the small 'beach'.  This allows for the creation of these waves. It is also affects by tides :).  The beach was created initially by a flooded sinkhole.  As the water flows under the earth for some time,  it can be rather chilly yet undeniably inviting and crystal clear!  Some say you had better bring your GPS to find this beach, however enough folks do find their way is it is quite crowded on the weekends.  Fortunately, this enchanted place is  a natural monument protected by Spain!  I wonder if it has any little fishes?
