12/31/12 UPDATE: We were just advised that the Polar Bear Splash at Ed Walline has been **CANCELLED** due to rough surf conditions! Check out South Walton Fire District’s page for more info.

For those who prefer to plunge head-first into the New Year, there are two bone-chilling events taking place on New Year’s Day this year. WaterColor Resort is once again hosting their Polar Bear Plunge, and the South Walton Fire Department is also hosting an inaugural Polar Bear Splash and Paddle Board Dash! On your mark… get set… FREEZE.
