Canova Beach Park is a 9-acre beach park that is best known for attracting four-legged surfers. Canova is Brevard County's only dog-friendly beach. This small but sweet stretch of beach always seems to be full of dogs catching balls on the sand and catching waves in the Atlantic. Bring your pups with their current license and vaccinations, a leash and some waste bags; the beach enforces rules to keep this beach clean and safe. You do need to keep your pets on leash, so they can't run freely without you. After splashing in the waves, grill dinner, eat under the pavilion, relax on a bench and watch your furry babies enjoy the Florida sunshine. Take advantage of the outdoor shower area, where you can rinse the salt water off your dog.
