The beach is a fantastic urban beach on the North Shore, with great sand, a good playground, access to toilets, good food/coffee options, and a spectacular view of Rangitoto Island. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views of Browns Bay Beach and Rangitoto Island as they play at the playground or enjoy lunch at one of the picnic tables provided. The grassed strip bounded by Beach Front Lane and the shoreline presented a very different appearance in earlier years. By the 1930s, the beachfront was transformed into a reserve, with a playground, picnic tables, and a small car park.

Overall, Browns Bay Beach Reserve is a great place to visit for those looking for a peaceful and scenic beach experience. With its beautiful views, good amenities, and fun activities, it is a great destination for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
