The village of Burgau's beach marks the western boundary of the Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina Natural Park. The sands stretch along a small bay, sheltered from inclement weather, and which serves as a fishing port. Here, fishing is still carried on in the traditional way using equipment such as buckets, dragnets and fish hooks. Here, you can watch the boats landing their catch and sample the fresh fish later on in the village restaurants. The orientation of the beach and the position of the cliffs provide shelter from the prevailing winds, resulting in calm seas for bathing.

Burgau, a fishing village in Budens, municipality of Vila do Bispo, owes its name to the abundance of whelks, a gastropod mollusc, locally known as burgau or burrié, on its shores. Presently, the tourism industry sets the pace in the village, which has a large number of its fishermen working in Lagos.
