Belleair Surf Guide
This beach faces more north than Indian Rocks, which makes it the prime locale for weak cold fronts with north wind. It's a good shorebreak to mid-break spot, but it's tucked in a private residential area with no place to park. Keep driving south from Sand Key and you'll see Belleair Beach Motel.

Spot Rating
Fun
Another average spots, Bellair is most famous surfwise for Cory Lopez and friends having a crack at some close to shore runners in the old Lost videos. Other than that it's just a run of the mill spot with grumpy residents who will go to any lengths to keep you off their beaches. Good luck parking anywhere in the snooty town.
