Located in southern Mozambique, Bilene, also known as Praia do Bilene, is a beach resort town. Bilene overlooks the beautiful, interminable expanse of the Uembje Lagoon, measuring 8 kilometres wide, 27 kilometres long, and 50 metres deep, which is separated from the Indian Ocean by an undulating series of white sand dunes. The lagoon and ocean shoreline attracts hordes of flamingos and water birds in summer which makes for excellent bird watching opportunities. Other popular activities include: sailing, fishing, swimming, diving and snorkelling.
