Who of us, arriving at the sea, did not while away the evenings on the beach, watching the pink disc of the sun slowly sink over the horizon, painting everything in warm purple tones, or in the midday heat did not see off a white yacht going to the very edge where the sea merges with the sky. Tourists who come to rest in the town of Llanes, located on the northern coast of Spain, have both sea water and a beach, but only there is no horizon. The trick is that Playa de Gulpiyuri beach located about a hundred meters from the Bay of Biscay, in the Atlantic Ocean.
The unique beach is indeed surrounded on all sides by hills covered with shrubs, and the reservoir with sea water has no access to the open sea. It is located in the midst of lush greenery, and looks like a kind of exotic oasis in the middle of endless meadows. The secret of the appearance of the reservoir is quite simple: water from the ocean gets here, seeping through a huge number of underwater labyrinths of caves.
Directly connected to the ocean, this unusual body of water has amazing properties: there are ebb and flow and even small waves that have washed a small strip of golden sand. The water that enters the reservoir, passing through underground caves, is quite cold, because of the rapid circulation, there is never a high water temperature here, but it is very clean. The length of the wonderful beach is only 40 m, so travelers can find it without a map. rarely. It is better to come here on weekdays, as on weekends the beach is literally littered with vacationers from all over the world.
On the site Kulturologiya.ru, we have already talked about other amazing beaches. So, the most beautiful beach in the world is recognized as the beach of McKericher National Park, lined with a shining carpet of glass diamonds, rubies and emeralds, and the hottest is Hot Water Beach in New Zealand, where you can relax no worse than in a real spa!
