After the plunge, swimmers and spectators are invited to a post-party at La Costa Lounge where partygoers can warm up and marvel at the events of the day. Next year’s Polar Bear Plunge kicks off at 41st Street Beach at 2 p.m. New Years Shore Celebration As we all know, New Years is a time of celebration, a time of leaving the past behind, and vowing to make better choices.
