The mass plunge into the sea will be just before 7am.

The event is once again in aid of MIND – The Mental Health Charity. Since 2012, the dip has raised more than £30,000 for the cause.

Refreshments will be provided on the day.

More than 400 dippers took part last year.

Organiser Jax Higginson said: “The skinny dip is a popular event which takes place around the autumn equinox as the sun rises. It is about celebrating life and nature and our own, unique, physical bodies. It is about taking a risk and embracing a moment of pure joy and freedom and it is about raising money for charity.”
