About Playa de Gulpiyuri

Playa de Gulpiyuri is a beach located in Asturias, Spain. It is known as the shortest beach in the world, with a length of 49 meters. The beach is made of sand and is 3.194 kilometers away from the nearby village of Posada de Llanes.

From Wikipedia

Playa de Gulpiyuri is a flooded sinkhole with an inland beach located near Llanes, in Asturias, northern Spain, around 100 m from the Cantabrian Sea.

Roughly 40 meters in length, it is fully tidal due to a series of tunnels carved by the salt water of the Cantabrian Sea, which allows water from the Bay of Biscay to create small waves.
