Praia do Bilene, often simply called Bilene, is one of the most easily accessible coastal towns from the capital, Maputo. The town sits on the shores of the 27-kilometer-long Uembje Lagoon, a massive saltwater lagoon separated from the Indian Ocean by high sand dunes. Since there are almost no waves in the lagoon, Bilene is a paradise for families with young children. Water sports are a major draw here: whether it's jet skiing, kayaking, windsurfing, or boat tours, the options are vast. A highlight is crossing the lagoon by ferry or boat to reach the pristine beach on the ocean side. There, you can feel the power of the sea, while on the lagoon side, you can swim in safe, shallow waters. Bilene has a good tourist infrastructure with many hotels, holiday homes, and campsites. The town is particularly lively on weekends and public holidays. In the local markets, you can buy excellent cashew nuts and seafood. It is the excellent spot for a relaxed beach holiday with all amenities and a variety of activities for both adults and children.
