Things to do in (and around) Burgau
Burgau is perfect if you're into outdoor activities like hiking (there are some beautiful hikes around!), supping, surfing, climbing and coasteering. You will also find many cute fishing villages around to visit like Salema, Sagres and Praia da Luz. The Larger town of Lagos and it's beautiful Ponta de Piedade is also definitely worth visiting! Hiking:
One of my favourite things to do is hiking along the stunning coastline, right from Burgau!
Head east towards Praia da Luz (around 5 km) or continue all the way to Lagos. Perfect for a lovely lunch or a sunset drink by the sea. You can easily take a taxi back to the apartment.
Or head west towards Salema and beyond. The coastline is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views all along the way. Just put on your walking shoes and enjoy!
Surfing:
Many days in fall, winter and early spring you'll find nice and easy longboard waves right on Burgau beach.
