It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain white field.

Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "FREGUESIA DE ENCARNAÇÃO".

The façade probably displays the local parish church. The green waves in the base are representing the Atlantic.
