Save Popponesset Bay
What a WONDERFUL Summer!
July 2024 has been busy with community events.
We hosted our annual summer fundraiser and
spent the night with over 225 of our generous supporters!
The FULL MOON event on the Spit was enjoyed
by over 100 people.
Nothing better than savoring Polar Cave ice cream,
while playing on the beach and watching the magnificent moon rise!
What Fun!
Thank you to the community and our many volunteers!

Save Popponesset Bay
Save Popponesset Bay is the owner of 2/3 of the Spit, with the eastern third, owned by Mass Audubon. The Popponesset Spit is a fragile, natural barrier peninsula and wildlife sanctuary that protects Popponesset Bay from Nantucket Sound, Mashpee’s watershed, and other land throughout Mashpee and Cotuit. Since its most depleted state in 2014, Save Popponesset Bay has raised and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars for trucking sand, dredging sand from the outer channel leading to Nantucket Sound, and the purchasing/planting of dune grass to anchor the new sand for the Spit. We also provide security in partnership with PBA and our partner Mass Audubon. These dredging and construction activities are critical to keeping the area healthy and safe for all that enjoy it.
