Bilene Ocean Beach
Praia do Bilene (lado do mar)
An Indian Ocean beach on the seaward side of the sand spit across the lagoon, with red dunes and a long surf coast that is almost deserted. It is reached by boat across the lagoon.
On the east side of the lagoon, a tall dune spit separates it from the open Indian Ocean. The reddish-brown dunes contrast sharply with the white surf, and the beach sees few visitors. Most visitors hire a boat from the town pier or join a half-day tour that crosses the lagoon. After climbing the dunes, walk to the sea to stroll, fish and collect shells, and in season you may see dolphins. The open sea has strong waves and rip currents, so swimming is not advised. The dunes offer no shade, so bring plenty of drinking water and sun protection, and return to the boat at the agreed time.
