Excursion recommendations
Burgau Beach and the nearby Luz Beach and Salema is one of the Algarve's south facing beaches, more sheltered and ideal for younger families. But you can also enjoy the northwestern beaches Castelejo, Monte Clerigo, Arrifana, Amado Beach, which are very popular among surfers.
There is a great variety of walking trips on the Vincentian Route, but you can always hike to the magnificent Old Huts while enjoying the great sea views.
In the extreme south western point, the lighthouse in the Cape of Sao Vicente (20 minutes drive) is an obligatory visit for outstanding sunsets.
Lagos (9 km east of Burgau) is one of the Algarve's most attractive and historic towns. It offers excellent beaches (Meia Praia, Dona Ana Beach, Mos Port) Boat trips along the coast are very popular and an option for children (dolphin watching), but a visit to the Lagos Zoo will make them unquestionably happy. Other attractions they will enjoy are Zoomarine, about 40 minutes drive, and water parks.
