Information about Beline

Bilene is a popular holiday village situated on the banks of the salt water Sao Martinho Lagoon which is almost entirely seperated from the ocean by a large sandbar. A channel to the ocean is kept open at all times and it is possible to take boat trips out to the ocean although the sandy beaches around the lagoon are such that few people do.

Camping accommodation is also available for those with their own 4x4 on the shores of the Indian Ocean some 10km from Bilene at Laguna Camp where there is beach access and safe parking for boats.

Fuel and basic food supplies are available from the Petromac garage on the beach front road although both are cheaper in Maputo and Xai-Xai, there is also an adjoining bakery and cafe. See below for other places to eat and drink in Bilene.
