The Town of Belleair identifies 19 public parks and lists the amenities available at each one.
Belleair’s parks directory - Does the planned path describe today’s route?
Belleair expects a future shared-use path as part of later Indian Rocks Road work. That planned facility is not evidence that the filmed local-road route is separated today.

Good fit for
A scenic option for road-confident riders who have already ruled out—or deliberately chosen it over—a protected-trail day.
What to expect
Vehicle exposure: Road exposure changes from block to block and by time of day. A harbor view is not the same thing as a low-stress street.
Shade: Shade varies by block; waterfront and causeway stretches can be exposed.
Surface: The route uses local roads. Do not assume protected bicycle space continues through the whole ride.
Before you ride
Check today’s conditions
Use the video as a preview, not live navigation. Before you ride, check closures, construction, posted rules, traffic, weather, and surface conditions. Follow current signs and official notices if they differ from the video or Strava track, and choose a route that fits everyone in your group.
- Watch the lane width and intersections, not just the water views.
- Read the current road-work notices, then check weather, wind, and daylight.
- Switch to a protected trail if anyone in the group is uneasy about sharing local roads.
