Dive into the new year with your friends or family! This typically Dutch tradition is also very popular on Texel. Every year, hundreds of Texelaars and tourists start the New Year with a refreshing dip in the North Sea. So put on your swimming outfit and run into the New Year as soon as the starting shot is given! A little too cold for you? Watching is also great fun!
