Popponesset Beach, Cape Cod

Long, clean, water warm enough to swim in September

Just a pretty beach to walk and look at all the beautiful homes. So private too! Just perfect!!

Great private beach. Water is warm and people are respectful.

Beach is amazing !

Poor experience. I got a license to go shellfishing in Mashpee by the town hall. The official map pointed us to this beach, and no one mentioned it was private. This is especially disappointing as the license I got was obvious that it was for someone who wouldn’t be a member of this beach. When we got there, we were promptly kicked out by mean guards, who stated that we weren’t allowed to park but could walk in to go shellfishing. If this beach IS private, I wouldn’t be able to shellfish there regardless. There were also no drop-offs. This entire experience was not for out of town people.

LOVE this beach!
Private and secluded - away from the hustle and bustle of life! So many pebbles and shells! Perfection!

It is a beautiful beach where the water is calm and very swimmable. It is a very relaxing beach! At the time when we were there, it was not very crowded so it was nice to take quiet walks, especially in the morning.

Been coming to this beach for over 12 years! Best beach on the cape

The beach is amazing and the water warm and clean. I have never seen a seal here so sharks are rare (unlike lower cape!) The neighborhood is clean and the streets are filled with kids biking here (do not try to speed here a parent will chew you out).
At the end of our beach days we would walk down to the awesome marketplace for a drink and the kids would hit the candy store or ice cream shop. You really could drive into your rental and leave your car for the week and walk/bike everywhere the whole time. The area is also really unpretentious and most of the families are really well-mannered folks. We LOVE Poppy!

Beautiful beach and very little seaweed on the days we visited
