Browns Bay beach

One of my favourite beaches in the north shore area. It’s small and sometimes you may struggle to find carpark, but the vibe is very family friendly and there is bbq, shade, public toilet, shower and heaps of nice places around to eat. Bring your picnic blanket and spend the day!

A town centre by the beach, Browns Bay is always busy, especially during the summer. Still water sandy beach with large grass area, Browns Bay is a hot spot for the locals. The Main Street is like a shopping centre with local businesses. There are a few eateries with specialty stores. The reserve has a playground and skate park. The parking is one hour.

Great playgrounds & skate park for children. Good swimming. We had a wonderful day. Picnic lunch under the trees. Lots of room for everyone to safely distance. Walking along beach I found several beautiful shells. Jazz our dog enjoyed seeing other dogs and running off the lead. Celebrated 34yrs married in a special way.

Love this beach been taking my children here since they were babies they are both adults now and both go there for a swim or a meal at the restaurants nearby..my dog also loves this place one of here favourite places for a walk...

A nice big and quite flat reserve adjacent to the beach as well as the town centre. A great place to relax and enjoy a barbecue but can be really busy especially in summer or sunny days. Finding a parking spot is often a big challenge.

Our family favourite beach. We spend all day here. If you have kids I recommend this beach as you can sit on the bank and lifeguard from there. Great playground. Supermarkets and shops within walking distance. Heaps of trees but take your own tent as well. Alot of parking if you arrive early, but one always becomes available as locals come and go after their walks. Highly recommend!

This is our local beach and visit regularly. It has a relaxed vibe and plenty of space even when busy. Great for families and singles for all ages. Fantastic playground for 2 - 15 year olds, and skateboard/scooter/bike bowl for all ages as well. Bars and restaurants look onto the reserve and the beach area and are always lively. Parking is ok, I normally manage to find one close but sometimes need to walk 5 mins to the beach.

The kids always have a blast when we are here. There's a lovely playground for the kids, and the beach is also just there! We have lovely BBQ's there as there is a lovely grass area to setup for the day. The bathroom facilities close by as well.

Wonderful views!! Nice popular beach at any time of the year. Attractive and very useful playground that is loved by kids. Free cooking equipment at the beach for grilling or grilling. Old native trees, plants. Unforgettable ocean views over volcano and cliffs.

Beautiful places and amazing beach for walk with family and friends I recommend yes or yes enjoy that’s places.
