In support of the Hollywood Beach Lifeguards, residents and tourists will celebrate Ocean Alley’s eighth annual Groundhog Day on Hollywood Beach, a time-honored tradition celebrating a shared universal hope for a warmer tomorrow – or at least a significant warm-up by noon.
The event will take place on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 from 6:30 – 8:00 a.m. at Ocean Alley Restaurant, located at 900 Indiana St. on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. The legendary Groundhog Swim (in South Florida winter waters) will be at 7:30 a.m. A $10 donation includes breakfast and a free souvenir T-shirt for swimmers. Shirts are available for non-swimmers at an additional $10.
Proceeds will benefit the Hollywood Beach Lifeguard Competition Team.
No Groundhog Day bash would be complete without a special appearance by Punxsutawney Phil and live coverage of Groundhog Day from Punxsutawney, PA., the weather capital of the world. The event culminates with some of the heartiest souls taking a traditional dip in the Atlantic Ocean. No Polar Bear club members needed here. The water is generally around 80 degrees.
Dont expect to see Bill Murray but the colorful Hollywood locals are enough comedy relief to get you out of bed early.
Bring the kids and come check out all of the crazy fun that makes Hollywood Beach the special place that it is.
