Burgau is a charming, whitewashed fishing village on the west coast of the Algarve, between Lagos and Salema. Nestled against a hill, it boasts narrow streets, charming restaurants, and a sheltered sandy beach. Despite some tourism, Burgau has retained its authentic, relaxed atmosphere and is sometimes called the Algarve's "hidden gem."

Burgau Beach (Praia de Burgau) is located in a sheltered bay at the foot of the village and is surrounded by high cliffs. The sand is fine and golden, and the water is usually calm, making it ideal for swimming and families. From the beach, you have beautiful views of the coast, and there are restaurants and cafes within walking distance.
