Brown Bay is 6.3 km long and bordered by low Green and Danger points, with Riddoch 4 km long extending from Danger to Stony Point. The Point Road runs 200 m to 300 m behind the beach providing a several unsealed access points and beachfront parking. There are no facilities at either beach.

In the central section they maintain a 200 m wide continuous bar, cut by rips every few hundred metres. read more
