Ready for the off at the Paignton Boxing Day Walk into the Sea Pictures Paignton Lions Club.
They came in all shapes and sizes. Colour and costumes were the order of the day as hundreds turned out to take part in the Paignton Lions Club's annual Boxing Day Walk Into the Sea.
The mild and dry weather was kind to the dippers on Paignton Beach but it still took some festive courage to brave the icy waves.
Elves, reindeers, Father Christmas and snowmen joined in the fun and even The Grinch managed a smile until he dipped his toe into the not-so-warm water.
The event raises thousands of pounds for local charities every year.
The Lions Club said: "What a turn out. A big thank you to all who came along to support the event, participants and spectators alike. We really do appreciate your support."
They added: "If you didn't manage to put a little in one if our Collection Buckets fear not, you can still donate....text SEA to 70470 followed by your amount with every penny going to help those in need locally."
