Belleair Beach: Beach Access and Parking Options

Belleair Beach can be explored through its specific beach and park options. Morgan Park is the city’s only public beach park. A walkable beach access is located near 2nd Street. Other named parks offer their own features: South Park has a water view, 2nd Street Park has a fishing pier, and 7th Street Park has a boat ramp. Bayside Park has a playground and a basketball court. If you are considering Belleair Beach as a destination, you can take individual recreational interests into account alongside beach access. These features give you different ways to plan a park visit around the specific focus of your stay.

Beach Access and Parking

Morgan Park beach access is located at 2650 Gulf Boulevard, at the intersection with Morgan Drive. This access was reported as open on September 5, 2026. This status information applies to the date given. If you are arriving later, check the current status before your visit. The exact address and date-specific status information therefore answer two different planning questions: where the access is and when it was reported open.

Morgan Park is one of four beach access points in Belleair Beach that residents with a parking permit may use. The permit information explicitly applies to residents. A parking fee is also charged for Belleair Beach access. If you are planning to drive to the beach access, take this fee into account and check the current fee and permit information before setting out. For your preparations, keep the details distinct: the permit concerns use by residents, while the parking fee concerns beach access.

Park Options by Interest

The named features offer different options for other interests. South Park has a water view. 2nd Street Park has a fishing pier, and 7th Street Park has a boat ramp. If you are looking for a view, South Park is the named park for that; the fishing pier at 2nd Street Park is for fishing, while the boat ramp at 7th Street Park is for boating plans. The walkable beach access near 2nd Street is distinct from these: it is a route to the beach, while the fishing pier is a separate facility in 2nd Street Park. This distinction helps prevent the similar street reference from being mistaken for the same type of use.

Bayside Park adds a playground and a basketball court to the options. The two facilities cater to different recreational interests within one park. If you would like to consider both when planning your trip, you can choose Bayside Park as a specific point of reference. This makes the park a different kind of option from a place characterized by a single named feature, such as a water view, fishing pier or boat ramp.
