   One of the greatest things in life is laying on a sandy beach on a sunny summer day. Even better? Doing all of that in the company of your pooch! For an experience like that in the vicinity of Freedom, head 15 miles northwest to Santa Cruz's shore, where you will find a dog-friendly beach called Seabright Beach. The even greater news is that, often, well-behaved doggies are allowed to dig in the sand and swim completely off-leash! If you decide to visit this awesome beach with your pup, be aware that there is a drop-off on the beach that you have to pay attention to.
