Braun Bay is of course fun.... Appropriateness for a given age is however a personal decision. I have always seen many families there and as long as you don't get in the heart of the cluster there are not problems with it being a family spot. But once again that is a personal decision.

Some people can and will see it different and may not feel it is an appropriate family spot. It is about personal comfort level, and decision.

In short what your missing is that every parent is different, and it is their personal choice and decision on what is and isn't appropriate at a given age for their child. Whether as outsiders looking in we agree or not, the parenting figure is the deciding factor on what a child is exposed to... At 16 the teenager is still a child and to some parents may not be ready to experience something like Braun Bay on a weekend, while to others wouldn't even give it a second thought.

I personally don't have a problem with it, but if I brought my 16 niece to Braun Bay on a weekend my sister would have my head... I don't agree with it, she would be with me... but my sister doesn't think her daughter is ready for that environment, and she is the parent, and I do have to respect that...

My Wife's boys on the other hand neither of which have hit the age of 10 have already been over there on the weekends..... She has no problem with it as they are with us, and she know we can leave if it gets to be to much...

To different mothers to different beliefs.....Doesn't mean one is better or one is right they are just different
