Beach overall scores
Gulpiyuri Beach (Asturias) is located outside the Naves settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Gulpiyuri Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is famous for being the shortest in the world, but it's still a great place to visit. Although it can get busy and it's quite small, what makes it special is the channel in the cliff that brings seawater to this sinkhole-like beach. Plus, you'll enjoy beautiful cliff views from the beach, and there's free parking nearby."

"The beach and views are stunningly beautiful and captivating. There is a parking fee of €2.50 for your car."
