Ocean Lakes 17th Annual Polar Bear Plunge

*December 31st at the Observation Deck
(Sign up in advance at the Recreation Office by Noon.)

Our winter Ocean Lakes Tradition! Can you believe more than 600 guests participate in this event!

Join this exclusive club by taking a dip in the Atlantic. It began with three brave souls. The numbers increase annually as brave (crazy) guests take the plunge. From young to old, they always have a great time!

Participants are asked to bring two non-perishable canned items to help local charities and food banks. A $6 yearly membership fee will include entry into the Polar Bear Plunge, a T-shirt naming participants a “Polar Bear,” bragging rights, and warm refreshments. “We’re freezin’ for a reason this year!” The Plunge takes place Dec. 31 – what a way to end the year!

So where are you going to be this New Year’s Eve day?

Polar Bears run into the water. You must get your head wet!
