Polar Dip Santa Barbara
Is NOT happening this
January 1st, 2025

We recently received a notice from the City of Santa Barbara informing us that the event could be shut down if allowed to happen and we as the organizers could be fined unless a permit was in place and numerous other costly conditions were met. 

There will be no organized event at the beach in Santa Barbara across from the Hilton Hotel and the Chromatic Gate at 11:30am on New Year's Day this year, but this doesn’t mean you can't start off the New Year by experiencing the exhilaration and camaraderie of diving in the ocean with your friends or family.

We encourage you to take a Dip on your own and hope to be back as a group event in 2026!
