Browns Beach (416) faces due west and consists of two parts. The southern 500 m has two beachrock reefs lying 50 and 100 m off the beach impounding a continuous lagoon, backed by a sheltered beach. The northern 600 m is free of the beachrock and has a more energetic reflective to low tide terrace beach, with waves often reaching 1 m in height. The entire beach is backed by active blowouts, which increase in size to the north where they extend up to 400 m inland. A car park and camping area are located above the southern end of the beach.
Beach Length: 2.4km
