Brace Yourself, it's the Whitby Boxing Day Dip

The Whitby Christmas tradition of running into the North Sea on Boxing Day morning continues today.

The annual Whitby Lions Boxing Morning Dip is on again this year. Here is a little history about the event.

Last year was the biggest ever, raising nearly £5,000.00 for local charities with 250 people taking part. It has become a Whitby Christmas tradition to go and see the dippers run in the North Sea on Boxing Day morning, and it draws over two thousand people.

You can even go as a superhero if you wish...

And you can enter on the day.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
