That’s a wrap! The rainy morning gave way to cloudy skies for the 46th annual 2026 Cayucos Polar Bear Dip. The crowd appeared to be smaller than most as our popular New Year’s Day event typically draws several thousand costumed revelers and onlookers to our little California beach town on sunnier days, but the spontaneously joyful spirit was alive and well! Thank you to the @cayucoschamber volunteers and our first responders who keep this family-friendly fun a favorite New Year tradition. 📷: @d
