Casa Grande Portugal
Beaches
Praia da Figuera
Burgau Beach
This has been one of our most favorite beaches since we arrived in the Algarve in the 70's. Other than a few more people discovering it, not much has changed. It still remains one of the most beautiful beaches in the Southern Algarve. When the tide is low you can swim around to find hidden beaches. You might encounter the odd nude sunbather.
15 minute drive from Casa Grande
We are luck to have such a beautiful beach just a few minutes walk from Casa Grande. The calm Atlantic and gently sloping sand into shallow water, are especially sheltered by the rocky hillside. This makes Praia do Burgau particularly attractive for families. It has an excellent beach bar and you can rent sun beds and shades along with some peddle boats

Secret Beachs & Cliff Top Walks
Straight up and over the hill infront of Casa Grande. There is a hidden path by the large allow plant that lead you down to a secret pebble beach. As small children the four of us would dissapera to this beach and play all day in the tide pools and rock formations. You can also walk along the cliff top to the neighboring village of Luz.
