Popponesset Peninsula

Popponesset Peninsula

Popponesset Peninsula is a spit of land in Cape Cod, Massachusetts which extends from the southwestern shore of Popponesset Bay and separates it from Nantucket Sound.

The peninsula is now significantly shorter than seen in the Barnstable County survey of 1880. Portions of the shore have been been stabilized with riprap to deter further erosion. Much of the peninsula is occupied by Popponesset Beach and the remainder is largely residential.
