'''Brahmin Beach''' is a neighborhood in southeast [[Oranjestad]]. It is bordered by [[Summit]] to the north, [[Meijin]] Hills to the south, and [[Alfa Beach]] to the west. Its east side is bound by the [[Budapest]] River. The area is named after the feral population of freak, two-headed Mooshrooms that can occasionally be seen roaming the area. These beasts are known locally as “Brahmin”. It is widely believed that the mutations are a result of their close proximity to the Jimmy Nuclear Power Plant, though there is little evidence to support this. Prior to the construction of the power plant, the area had been occupied by the Dillman Farm, which specialized in Mooshroom milk production.
