Wife and I want to take a trip down to Florida, everything we hear is fla beaches are not dog friendly. any truth to this? heard there are very few places to be able to take dog for walk on beach. which means in wife's view, were not going if we can't walk her on the beach.

You'll have a very hard time finding a beach that allows dogs. We've looked....heh.

FL State Parks do not allow pets on the beach. I asked one of the rangers as to why and the response was that it was for the best interest of the animal: lack of fresh water, dehydration, sand fleas, salt water not being good for their skin and coat, and even sunburn. Also mentioned was pet waste and destroying the dunes.

Kathryn Hannah park, Mayport, Fl1.5 miles of beach. Dogs are allowed they even have free bags for poo.There are other beaches that allow dogs only before 9 AM

Panama City area state parks, Destin, St. Andrews, Port St. Joseph, no dogs on beach. Don't know about the rest of Florida. Traveling by the Port St. Joe area, no dogs on the beach in the local communities either.
