Canova Beach Park - Indian Harbour Beach (FL)

5 /5 Williams Phoenix: Great free beach parking. Went on a Friday afternoon and there were no open spots but luckily someone was leaving and I was able to park. Really nice beach area with pretty shells, great to take a walk or just relax and stare at the ocean. The restroom area was fenced off but they had a few porta potties in case you really need to go.

5 /5 Tricia Palomino: Canova beach is our favorite pet beach along the central FL east coast, thanks to its accessibility (not too far of a walk to get to the water) and wider shoreline. The view here is gorgeous and its not over developed so it feels less touristy, which I adore. There is a dog wash station and restrooms/porta potties. This beach can get pretty busy and everyone is pretty good about keeping control of their dogs. Parking is free. My only complaint is parking is VERY limited and Im not sure where to park when the beach lot is full.

4 /5 Christopher Clark: It’s awesome that this place exists because it’s extremely hard to find a dog friendly beach. Most all dog owners have leached well behaved dogs. However the lack of law enforcement for the few that don’t is ruining this amazing place. Lots of unleashed dogs that are aggressive with no supervision from owners and when they do finally notice there dog has no recall. Homeless living at this park keeps growing as well. Hopefully they will step in and enforce laws so it can be the amazing place it once was. My fear is they will just remove the pet friendly because of dog fights that would not happen if leashed with responsible owners

5 /5 Katherine Bernardi: Love the dog beach! My dog is not a big fan of the water but loves to run freely, sniff other dogs and boy does she love to dig. We are sure to always pick up her poops and fill in the holes she does dig so no one breaks an ankle walking the beach. ♥️ all dogs are welcomed and everyone is so nice and welcoming. Restrooms are currently nonexistent the building has been taken down and is under construction but it looks like they are rebuilding them and probably redoing the plumbing.
