A Weekend with Heart 💙
The Polar Bear Plunge isn’t just about the thrill of diving into chilly waves. This year, it’s about giving back.
The Mike’s Seafood Run-Walk for Autism, a highlight of the weekend, continues its incredible legacy of supporting autism-related causes. Founded 16 years ago by the Monichetti family, this event has raised over $1 million for autism support groups, special services schools, and families of children with disabilities. Who knows maybe you'll even run into Jason Kelce!

Plunge or Not to Plunge, that is the question
While the plunge itself has shifted gears from being an official city-sponsored event, you can still expect the unofficial tradition of brave participants sprinting into the icy Atlantic. Costumes? Oh, they’re a must. From polar bear onesies to superhero capes, this is your chance to get creative and stand out.

Whether you’re in the mood for fresh seafood, dancing to your favorite cover band, or a cozy cup of hot chocolate after the plunge, Sea Isle has something for everyone.
Shopping Galore
Take a stroll through the shops lining the promenade and grab some Polar Bear Plunge merch or unique finds from local vendors. It’s the perfect way to commemorate the weekend or bring home a gift for loved ones.
