Every January 1st, people from all walks of life and all ages gather at the shoreline in Santa Barbara, California to take a group dip in the beautiful Pacific Ocean, rain or shine!
It's a great way to start off the New Year!
The group dip is at 11:30 sharp!
Make sure to arrive early and allow time to park.
Creative outfits are encouraged!
Follow us and tell your friends!
​We award commemorative buttons and certificates (while they last!) to all who fully submerge without a wetsuit.
What to bring: towel, swimsuit, warm clothes, re-useable cup, snacks, drinks...
