Bilene, also called Praia do Bilene, is a town in Gaza Province in southern Mozambique, about 140 kilometres northeast of Maputo. It is a popular beach resort on the Mozambique Channel, known for the calm, clear water of the Uembje Lagoon, which a line of high sand dunes separates from the open Indian Ocean. Wikipedia gives coordinates for Bilene that fall at about 25.17 degrees south and 33.19 degrees east. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model reads about 55 metres above sea level at that point. Like the rest of Mozambique, Bilene keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year.
