Beach overall scores
Playa Gulpiyuri (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 Playa Gulpiyuri 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 renowned for being the shortest in the world, making it a great place to visit. Although it can get busy and is quite small, it is unique in that it is a sinkhole, with a channel in the cliff allowing seawater to reach it. Plus, the views of the cliffs behind the beach are stunning, and there is free parking available."
Harrington
"This beach is situated inland and looks especially charming when the tide is high."
