What to do in Praia do Zavial? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

For those who wish to engage in something more extreme than a lazy holiday on the beach, it is worth noting that Praia do Zavial is excellent for surfing. This kind of activity is suitable for beginners and for professionals. The waves in this region you can see in the photos above or study the reviews by our users. And by the way, on the beach you can take surfing coaches!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Praia do Zavial welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is a restaurant/bar/oasis located on a beautiful beach that is definitely worth the effort to discover. It can be found a few kilometers to the west of Burgau.

The beach offers breathtaking views. The food was just average and slightly overpriced. The staff is extremely friendly. The house white wine is absolutely delightful. Regrettably, dogs are not permitted on the terrace. I would definitely come back for drinks, but I would skip the food.

4 Frustrating

If you want to witness your dog resorting to eating leaves like an animal, then this is the perfect place for you. It's safe to say that the staff at Zuvial are not exactly fond of dogs. In fact, I question if they even know how to interact with people. If you're a group of four and you ask for more than two wine glasses, you won't be accommodated. But this is just a glimpse of the inhumane treatment you can expect. Despite the breathtaking and untamed views surrounding you, you can't help but feel that you would be happier cooking your own food in the parking lot with a camping stove. Before I continue, I must mention the positive aspects: the white wine tasted pleasant, and the fisherman's smorgasbord was at least satisfactory. Unfortunately, the good experiences end there. Our attempt to enjoy our lackluster noodles was twice as challenging due to the sounds of our abandoned dog echoing throughout the restaurant. Additionally, the clams were served with an unnecessary side of judgment, as the waiter blamed us for eating the bread that was meant to soak up the clam juice, even though we did so before ordering the clams. Without wanting to waste any more time at this establishment, I can only say that if you're hungry in this area, it's better to walk ten minutes to O Sebastiao and discover how fish is supposed to taste. To end on a positive note, I would like to acknowledge the slightly friendlier waiter who impressively cleared our table in one go. Thank you.
