    Stairs to get onto the beach
    Lena B.

    We have gone to Canova a few times and we always enjoy it. There are public bathrooms when you first drive up. Then they have outside showers you can use if you want to wash off the sea water or sand when you are leaving the beach. Then after you crossover the stair-bridge, you enter the beach. It's a long strip that you can walk with your dogs. Most people keep their dogs on a leash, but be warned, there are many that are not on a leash. I like this beach, because I can bring my dog, my kids swim in the water and there are shells for me to collect. Something for everyone. The waves are medium strength... they are a little big for small kids or weak swimmers, but still small enough for my teens to enjoy. We will definitely be back!!

    Great dog friendly beach. Very clean even with all the dogs. It wasn't too busy even on a beautiful day.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this dog beach and only an hour or so from Orlando, so many dogs and they all seem to be well behaved, except for one:) We enjoyed it so much that we went two weekends in a row. The beach is clean and the humans enjoyed swimming as well. Close to shops and restaurants. My only critique, parking lot could be bigger.

    I love this dog friendly beach! There's free parking and the beach is right there from your car! It's a chill beach and everyone's friendly and nice. The dogs stay with their owners. Yeah a lot are off leash which apparently isn't allowed but every dog I saw was trained and taken care of! There wasn't seaweed or rocks or anything that hurts your feet at this beach! I recommend!

    This is hands down the best dog beach that I've been too and I've lived in Florida my entire life. The beach itself is super clean and all the dog owners were responsible picking up after their dogs. That's huge because often times people think they're too cool and the reality is we all want to have a good time without stepping in poop. The parking lot is a little small, so you may have to walk over from the other lot but once you're there there's two shower areas -- one with a hose for your dog and a small covered area. After you step up a small flight of stairs the beach is right there! It's so helpful especially when you have your dog in a leash in one hand and you're hauling all your items in another. The water itself is super clean, and again everyone was super friendly. The only reason I am giving it a 4 out of 5 is because there's always that one person who thinks they don't have to follow the rules and had their dog off a leash (even those there's signs everywhere to keep your dog leashed) I will say those dogs who were off the leash were very obedient and didn't cause any issues but we did travel with a baby and didn't want any issues. We can wait to go out there again!

    Drove over to satellite beach to check out a property and brought our dog to try out this beach. Wow we loved it!! The beach was clean and not overpopulated with dogs. The water here is shallow enough that dogs can run and jump in the water without being tackled by waves! Lots of parking and also 2 different areas to hose off sandy dogs after playing. Highly recommend and will be back!

    We go here every year especially in the summer because of the cooler water compared to Gulf Coast side. It's a dog friendly beach in the Melbourne area. They also have showers, bathroom, & free parking which we love. Most dogs are leashed, but some are not. It's nice that the beaches are wider here compared to like Ft. De Soto which is a dog friendly beach in St. Pete Beach on the other side of Florida. There's lots of space for every one to spread out here. It's not one of the nicer beaches to me though because the restrooms do look pretty old and the showers aren't the best. Still good to have it. This last time we didn't realize the bathroom closes at dusk. So it was closed by the time we got to it. Friendly's restaurant, Walmart, & Winn Dixie is across the street so we headed that way for the rest room. We will continue to go here since it's dog friendly. It's fun to visit the area. There are still dog friendly beaches we prefer.

    Miles of dog beach! Lots of room to run and play with your fur babies! Soooo much fun to spend the mornings playing in the waves and letting your dog wear themselves out! Family friendly, clean. Please keep your dogs on a leash, we saw many without and if they have zero recall they need to be leashed. I believe leash laws apply here. Bring plenty of fresh water and clean up after your dog- which it appears most people do as we only saw a couple places that no one bothered to clean up. No fee to get onto the beach. A dog wash station, shower for humans, and restrooms as well as plenty of parking. There is even a ramp down to the beach for accessibility!

    This dog beach is fun even if you don't bring your own dog (if you really hate dogs this might not be for you). I enjoyed watching the dogs run and play while I napped near by. Parking is free and easy but can get full. I went at 2pm on a Thursday and it was busy (but I found parking). It would be nice if there were vending machines but there aren't so make sure you bring everything you'd want to eat or drink.

    Cheese!

    I love this beach small but perfect for the dogs to run around! Most people clean after their dogs but you got some that like to leave there shit! The dogs are behaved with responsible parents so I have not experienced aggressive dogs. Plus you don't have to pay to park! Walter recommends it.

    Great beach to bring your dog. It's usually packed and the dogs have a fun time. Clean area and water is nice for a dip with the dogs.

    This dog beach is fantastic! We had the best time ever. On leash, off leash, even without a dog it's so fun to watch them all play.
