Over 500 women descended on Magheramore Beach today in neon skirts, leg warmers and big hair before stripping down and dipping into the Irish sea, as the popular Strip and Dip fundraising event returned with ambitions of securing a third Guinness World Record.

This annual women-only event officially broke the record for the largest gathering of people dressed in 1980s clothing with 503 counted, adding another chapter to its unique history of combining charity fundraising with world-record achievements.

Now in its 13th year, Strip and Dip has become one of Ireland’s most recognisable fundraising events, bringing together women from across the country for a symbolic dip in the Irish Sea in support of Aoibheann’s Pink Tie, a charity that assists families affected by childhood cancer.
