Belleair Beach leaves dog-on-beach hours unchanged after brief revisit
Summary
The board revisited a proposal to allow dogs at specified hours but, after members noted existing rules and enforcement limits, decided not to change current hours (dogs allowed 7–9 a.m.).
Board members revisited prior discussion about whether to allow dogs on parts of the beach during limited hours. Staff recapped the current practice: “Dogs are allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.” Members suggested leash requirements, mandatory bag-and-scooper expectations and possible limited-hour windows such as early morning or late evening, but some members opposed any change.
After exchange the board left the current hours unchanged and did not direct staff to draft an ordinance; the issue may be revisited if community interest grows.
