Beach Rules
Safety is our first concern
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). Lift jacked 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.
- Alcoholic beverages are not permitted on the beach.

- Swimming beyond the second rope is only permitted when there is a lifeguard is on duty. If no lifeguards are on duty, the park will be open and the swimming area will not be supervised by a lifeguard or other responsible person.

Love to fish? Pine Hill Lake has a variety of fish to catch. Trout, bass, sunnies, and perch are just a few of the fish we regularly see on the ends of fishing poles.

Fishing licenses are not sold at Belleayre Beach, but there are a couple of local sports shops in the area that do.
Swimming
Cool off in the summer heat this summer at the local swimming hole. The Belleayre Beach offers lifeguard supervised swimming with a white sandy beach. Swimming is only allowed in the roped-in area. Roped off areas include 2 ft, 4 ft, 6 ft, 6-13 ft with diving dock, and a deep water lap lane. 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. If there are no guards on duty, the facility will still be open for all other activities. There is a day-use fee to enter the facility.
