Polar Plunge

Kick off the New Year with a brisk dip in the Pacific Ocean! 

Bring your family and friends to join your neighbors and community members for the annual YMCA Polar Plunge at Cape Lookout Day Use Area. The time of the Plunge varies based on tides, but the bonfires, coffee and cocoa are always hot, the company is always good, and there is no better way to bring in the New Year!

Thank you to to our friends to Cape Lookout State Park and Netarts-Oceanside Fire District for partnering and making this event possible.

Event details will be posted here and on our Facebook page in December!
