The History of the Plunge
All of us search for that one thing to mark moments of our life. They can range from a dinner out with friends, to a quiet night in with your favorite movie and snack combo, to officially starting that book that’s been staring at you from the bookshelf all year. These symbolic gestures represent something different for everyone.
Block Island has hosted an annual Polar Plunge for years, gathering crowds of hundreds and more to the Fred Benson Town Beach and ring in the new year with an ice-cold ocean dip. And we’re not the only ones. Believe it or not, this tradition extends across the globe.
