Praia da Mina is located on the coast of the Alcobaça municipality, bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. It lies at the mouth of a valley, a setting that gives it a geographical peculiarity. It is sometimes referred to as Praia da Mina do Azeiche, a name also associated with this location.
Access to Praia da Mina is via a pedestrian path that descends the cliff. This path, with railings, offers a gradual perspective of the sandy shore as you approach. Along the descent, there are some wooden benches, simple elements that may invite a pause on the route.
The sandy area of Praia da Mina stands out for its considerable extent, which narrows as you move south. The beach is framed by rising cliffs, creating a distinct natural environment. During periods of heavier rainfall, a small stream may run through the central part of the sand, adding a dynamic touch to the landscape.
