Bilene, also known as Praia do Bilene, is a town in southern Mozambique, lying 140 kilometres northeast of Maputo in the province of Gaza [ [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=zrv4RUwCfEUC&pg=PA137&lpg=PA137&dq=Angoche&source=web&ots=TpBGQdBGyc&sig=iRHzt6-wj91fLdPOx0NV9LGqD3Q&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=8&ct=result#PPA137,M1 Lonely Planet Guide to Mozambique] , Fitzpatrick, Mary, 2007, p.80, Retrieved on June 14 2008] . It is known as a beach resort, lying on the Mozambique Channel. Noted for its calm and clear lagoon, giving way to the pounding Indian Ocean beyond tall dunes, it is reported to be the closest beach destination to the city of Johannesburg in neighboring South Africa.
