What is Sea Gals about?

The moment we never knew we needed.

Sea Gals is a safe space for women including trans women and non binary people to join in on a fun sunrise dip around the beaches of Perth, and now other locations around Australia.

We are all about different body types, different life stories, and coming together to celebrate our differences and similarities. A light hearted morning including a small chat and a dip is the perfect self-care hour you can slot into your morning routine, as we aim to cover the central Perth coast to make it as available to every woman.

We want you to experience the joy of seeing the sunrise, the moon set over the ocean, pink fluffy clouds, pink and blue water, and running into the ocean with other women whilst we blast some tunes.

Make as much meaning as you would like from these mornings, whether you just love the ocean, or you need to be around an amazing group of women for your mental health, we are here for it all.

We are here for you.

Let’s get you connected to yourself, others and nature in a morning of self-care.

Where are we?

At our home base, we swim up and down the coast along Perth, swimming as south as Mandurah and as north at Quinn’s rock.

Sydney

Currently on hold as we are looking for a new mermaid to run our dips.
