For the safety and enjoyment of all who visit, the following regulations are enforced by staff at the Belleayre Beach:

- U.S. Coast Guard life jackets are required to be worn when using any vessel (boat). Life jackets will be provided with every boat rental.
- Swimming and wading outside of the roped area is not permitted.
- Drones are not permitted at Belleayre – Out of safety concerns for guests, employees, and resort property, as well as concerns for individual privacy, Belleayre Mountain prohibits the operation or use of unmanned aerial systems by the general public, including recreational users and hobbyists, without the prior written authorization from Belleayre.

Fishing licenses are not sold at Belleayre Beach, but there are a couple of local sports shops in the area that do.

Swimming is only allowed when there is a lifeguard on duty and the diving dock and lap lane areas will only be open if there are two or more guards on duty.
