Set in a laid-back coastal suburb on Auckland’s North Shore is Browns Bay Beach, a long stretch of golden sand with calm waters. The beach is an ideal spot for swimming, paddleboarding, and picnicking. A scenic walkway runs along the waterfront, offering views over the Hauraki Gulf and nearby Rangitoto Island.

The Browns Bay neighbourhood has a mix of cafés, restaurants, and shops, giving it a lively yet laid-back feel. Many eateries have outdoor seating, making it easy to enjoy a meal with a sea breeze. A large playground and skate park near the beach make it a family-friendly destination.

Browns Bay is also close to other popular North Shore beaches, like Mairangi Bay and Long Bay, which offer more coastal walks and swimming spots.
