It is nestled in a small cove, often likened to a seashell, in the Costa Vicentina natural park. This location provides visitors with stunning green surroundings and a peaceful ambiance. The sandy stretch of the beach, approximately 100 meters long, is framed by low cliffs on the east and a pebbly area on the west. A unique natural pier made of rocks further enhances its natural beauty. The clear, calm water of Praia da Ingrina is ideal for activities such as diving and snorkeling, although caution is advised due to rocks in the sea. Despite its popularity, particularly in the summer months, Praia da Ingrina is not typically overcrowded. The beach lacks shade but the wind often helps to lessen the sun's intensity. Visitors can also explore megalithic monuments near Raposeira and take walks along the cliffs, where the ruins of an 18th-century fort, Bateria do Zavial, can be found.
