Every New Years Day, folks from around the world gather at the Dolphin Dip Extravaganza on the beach in Surf City, North Carolina, to start the new year with a plunge into the Atlantic Ocean. At noon, a horn sounds and thousands of people shrieking with delight run into the ocean to wash away the previous year.

Its fun and exhilarating, and festivities kick off at the Roland Avenue Beach Access at 11 a.m. Festivities may include dinosaurs, belly dancers and lots of awesome costumes! The Dip happens at NOON sharp!

There is NO COST to attend. It's FREE fun for the whole family (including your pets). Whether you plan to jump in or not, come on out and enjoy the entertainment! If you come early enough, you may even get to see dolphins swimming just off the pier.
