Mozambique Bilene Facts and Figures

• Bilene was once known as Sao Martinho and is a peaceful village that will soothe your soul if you are looking for a break from city life. 
• Uembje is a natural saltwater lagoon stretching about 27 km parallel to the Indian Ocean and up to 8 km across. It can reach 50 m deep in many areas but is mostly shallow and warm so ideal for kids.  
• Climb up to Turtle Cliff to see whales, turtles and dolphins swimming past – maybe you will be in time for whale season in June to October where the Humpback and Southern Right whales can be seen migrating down the coastline to the warmer waters to mate and calf. 
• Turtle season is between November and March when Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles lay their eggs on the beach.

Fishing and Boating Holidays at Uembje Sao Martinho Lagoon

A huge sandbar separates the lagoon from the ocean and makes for excellent surf and shore fishing, plus exciting deep-sea fishing for yellow fin and Mackerel from boats at the lagoon mouth and into the ocean. When the locals open the river mouth to allow migrating fish to swim into the lagoon, the fishing gets exciting. Bring your rods for some thrilling shore and surf fishing or find a boat charter to get out on the ocean to hook big game fish in the shallow reefs close to the beach. 

Capture the magnificent flocks of pink flamingos on film as they wallow for food, noisy and gorgeous as they socialize. Maybe you will care to book a microlight flight over the area, viewing these elegant birds from above, or watching them take off gracefully over lovely lagoon and ocean.

Fishing and Boating holiday activities in this Mozambique beach town called Bilene include safe swimming during the day and fantastic wining and dining during the evenings. Enjoy a Mozambique iced beer, great local cuisine, and even a local disco to shake your booty.
