Hello,
We are visiting for a week and trying to locate a place rumored to be leash-free-dog-frieldly beach called "Beer Can Beach."
Help in pinpointing or alternate suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
JudytheGypsy

Don't know about Beer Can Beach, but there is one in Moss Landing (between Aptos and Monterey) that's a leash-free beach. You get off Highway 1 and go through the Marina/restaurant area in Moss Landing and go to the end of the road.

I looked up Beer Can Beach too - I've been there, just didn't know it was named that - LOL. I've never spent too much time around Seascape Village though.
Thanks so much for the information and insights!
