A LITTLE LOCAL HISTORY
Belleair Beach incorporated in 1950 and developed as a primarily residential coastal community along the Gulf of Mexico and Intracoastal Waterway. Over the years, it has maintained a quieter character than many neighboring beach towns, with homes, parks, beach access, and waterfront recreation shaping much of the community.
That residential focus is still one of Belleair Beach’s defining qualities today. The city includes neighborhood parks, beach access, a municipal marina, boat ramp, fishing docks, and other recreational amenities that contribute to its small coastal-community feel.
