Welcome the season with open arms (and goosebumps) at the Winter SOLstice Ocean Dip, a free community event marking the shortest day of the year with a sunrise splash, soulful movement, and shared warmth on the beach. Hosted by SOL Fitness, Tahu, and Midway Surf Life Saving Club, the morning is all about connection, reflection, and a reminder that brighter days are coming.

Bonfire on the beach from 6:30 am
Guided warm-up with SOL Fitness

Dip into the moana together 7:30 am
