24-acre Sipson Island is a once-private historic landmark on the eastern coast of Cape Cod. It opened to the public in July 2020 for the first time since 1711.
Local residents joined with the Friends of Pleasant Bay and the Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts to establish the nonprofit Sipson Island Trust (SIT) and purchase the property after it went on the luxury real estate market in 2018.
It's about a 2-hour drive from Boston.
