Belleair Shore, FL

Belleair Shore is a Pinellas County town on Florida’s Gulf Coast, with 73 residents in the 2020 census. The municipality is a one-mile beachfront strip containing 57 properties between Gulf Boulevard and the Gulf of Mexico. Belleair Beach borders it to the north and east, while Indian Rocks Beach sits immediately south. Every local road and house is shaped by the narrow space between the highway and the water. Storms and erosion make the Gulf edge a working civic concern.

Belleair Shore was established in 1955 with a single-family zoning plan that still defines the town. There is no inland commercial center; the community is made of Gulf Boulevard addresses, private homes, seawalls, sand, and open western views. Clearwater Beach and Belleair Bluffs provide the larger nearby map, while the town’s commissioners focus on the shoreline and the small residential footprint. Belleair Shore is a Florida town where municipal government, a one-mile beach, Gulf Boulevard, and a tightly bounded line of homes meet.
