If you’ve driven by New Seabury lately, you’ve probably noticed something exciting happening at one of Cape Cod’s most iconic waterfront venues—the Popponesset Inn is getting a refresh just in time for the 2026 season. The beloved oceanfront tent, long known for hosting unforgettable weddings and events, is currently undergoing a full renovation—and the updates are thoughtful, intentional, and all about enhancing the experience while keeping that classic coastal charm intact.
