Pristine Praia da Ingrina beach near Sagres
Praia da Ingrina beach is a tiny, sandy oasis of calm located in Raposeira, in the Vila do Bispo region of the western Algarve near Sagres, the Portuguese “end of the world.”
Surrounding the beach are picturesque cliffs and green belts stretching all the way to the beach. To the right of the beach is the hard-to-reach Praia do Barranco beach and to the left , the surf-loving Praia do Zavial beach.
A pedestrian Fishermen’s Trail, Trilho dos Pescadores, which is part of the famous Rota Vincentina, runs through Praia da Ingrina beach.
On the beach you will find a restaurant, which is open in season, and free parking.

Visiting the caves is only possible from ocean level which makes for sensational kayaking. The area around Praia da Ingrina beach is great for fans of wildlife. Here you can admire various types of birds and rich underwater life.
