By "appropriateness for any given age", do you mean all the people drinking and partying? If so, I completely understand not wanting your child exposed to that.
Thank you!

JK, not to worry man it isn't always an easy thing to see, as I say myself I have no problem bring kids to Braun Bay, I just stay off to the side and all is fine, and if it get to be what I say is too "crazy" I leave...
But yes I think what jades most people in their thoughts of appropriateness is the party and drinking atmosphere. And if your down in the bay you are around it. My sister for instance just doesn't want her daughter around that type of environment.... My Wife and I on the other hand don't see an issue with it...Eventually kids are going to see and be around people in a drinking and partying environment... I personally think it is better that my wife's boys are getting introduced to it with us around... And quite honestly I don't feel like they are in it, if we are off to the side... And in my opinion what make braun bay any different the a big family get together or a wedding.... but not everyone sees it that way.
As you say most often there aren't any problems, I have found the the real partiers tend to stay local to one area of the bay, and have also found them very respectful... I had my wife's boys their last summer and where swimming around by a group of 20 somethings that where all enjoying a nice summer day at the lake...and while they where having a great time and listening to music that wasn't appropriate for young ears... one of the guys jumped into his boat and skipped over the song... I said thanks, he said sorry... later on a group of that crowd that needed a break floated out off over towards our boat on their floats...
In short I think it is a good place and still a safe place for families and party people a like... But families have to be comfortable having there children around the total overall environment.... My sister, when my niece was really young would also leave large gathers like weddings if there got to be to much drinking... she just doesn't feel that it is something she should expose her daughter too...
