The Town of Belleair Shore was established in 1955 along one mile of beachfront consisting of 57 properties.  Belleair Shore is a community of private homes on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Mexico.  The town lies four miles directly south of the City of Clearwater Beach and one mile west of the City of Belleair Bluffs.  Residents of Belleair Shore enjoy an unobstructed view of the western sky from their homes.
 
The Town Government consists of a Mayor and four Commissioners who serve two-year terms and are elected by the town’s residents.  The Mayor and Commissioners recognize their responsibility to the founders of the town and jealously guard the single-family zoning regulations specified in the charter and ordinances.  Commercial and multi-family high rise buildings are prohibited and set-back and height limitations are designed to protect the continuity of the area.
