You may be in Bilene, but you could just as well be on a remote island anywhere in the world.
That is the impression Praia do Cossa offers, as it is only a 70 meter walk to the white sandy lagoon beach where the calm and clear waters of the lagoon gradually slope away from the white beach, making swimming safe for the whole family.
The village of Bilene, the home of Praia do Cossa, known as San Martino in the days of Portuguese Mozambique, is located 180km north of Maputo on a hill overlooking the expansive clear turquoise waters of the Uembje Lagoon.
The lagoon is a massive body of water 8 km wide and 27 km long, plunging up to depths of 30 meters, but so shallow near the shores that its perfect for children. 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.
