Great Beach, Bad Owners, Sketchy Area

We are visiting from out of state and I chose Canova Beach because it is supposed to be an on leash dog beach. My boys have been repeatedly attacked by off leash dogs so this was very important. Please know there is no one enforcing the leash policy here so the first thing we were met with on going over the walk to the beach was an off leash dog, immediately right there, in my dog’s faces with no recall. Thanks.
The bathrooms were old and rundown. There was a bum hanging out in the park. The area itself wasn’t great. The beach was pretty, but I bet there are other pretty beaches that are better. We won’t be back.
