It is shown that nonlinear Josephson plasma waves (NJPWs) can propagate along a thin slab of layered superconductor surrounded by metals. These waves have no analogs in other systems consisting of the conducting materials only. The NJPWs are stable for extremely anisotropic superconductors in a certain interval of wave amplitudes.
