The village of Bilene , is situated 160km north of Maputo on the shores of the Uembje lagoon and is accessible to visitors on a good tarred road. The 27km long lagoon is an ideal family spot with long bright white stretches of sand for beach games and shallow, calm water for safe swimming.

This resort is particularly popular with water sports enthusiasts, for example jet-ski’s, water-skiing and parasailing, and more serene non-motorised sports such as paddle-ski’s, and windsurfing. The mouth of the lagoon, usually blocked by a massive sand bank, is best reached by boat but a long difficult 4X4 track does allow access to the beach facing the open sea.

The town has numerous restaurants and bars as well as a weekend disco. Petrol and diesel are both available at Praia do Bilene. There are also various simple shops and a market where very basic products can be purchased.
