About SBPF

Siasconset Beach Preservation Fund is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization formed by ‘Sconset homeowners concerned about erosion of the Sankaty Bluff and the threat it poses to the village of ‘Sconset. Since the early 1990s, SBPF has researched and installed, on an experimental basis, a series of measures that might control the erosion of the ‘Sconset Beach from south of Sesachacha Pond to south of the ‘Sconset sewer beds. Our goal is to find an effective, environmentally sound and economically feasible approach. Funding for SBPF’s work is provided by our members, local community organizations, and the general public.
