Point Brown Peninsula is a peninsula in the State of Washington. It is entirely occupied by the city of Ocean Shores and portions of Oyehut. It is {{convert|6,000|acre|ha}} in area, and acts as a breakwater to the entrance of Grays Harbor, the estuary of the Chehalis River.
Similar to the Long Beach Peninsula, the Point Brown Peninsula is at high risk of destruction from tsunamis due to its very low elevation of around 50 feet.[https://www.dnr.wa.gov/publications/ger_ri38_ocean_shores_westport_liquefaction.pdf Ocean Shores landslide and liquefaction maps for the Point Brown and Wesport Peninsulas]
