Although a modern holiday resort Burgau still retains its original Portuguese fishing village ambience. For those of you who prefer things a little quieter, this is the ideal spot for you.

Having said this, there is still plenty to do. Burgau has a lovely sandy beach, with rocky outcrops on either side. It's ideal for swimming or just sunbathing, it never really gets over crowded, even in the height of summer.

Located on the beach itself is the excellent Burgau beach bar, recently beautifully renovated and owned by the same family for over 20 years, its a much apart of Burgau as the local fisherman! Although a certain amount of new apartment complexes have been built in Burgau, they are of a high quality and do not detract to greatly from the character of this little fishing village. It is worth noting that much of Burgau has steep cobbled roads which could prove unsuitable for the elderly or infirm.
