4-wheel drive vehicles are allowed to drive on certain Nantucket beaches with the appropriate town beach permit. Information on town beach permits can be obtained from the Town of Nantucket.

Land Bank beaches do not allow for year round boat storage.

From 11/1 to 4/1, non-motorized watercraft are not allowed to be stored on Land Bank beaches and will be removed. Please note that the Land Bank has very limited boat storage, and it is not guaranteed that we will be able to store boats we find on Land Bank properties for retrieval. Please enjoy your water recreation and remember to properly store your boat during the off season.

Climate change is an all-encompassing issue that has societal, economic, and ecological impacts. As a small island, Nantucket is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The Land Bank is a significant landowner on Nantucket, and as a result, we are proactively engaged in researching and implementing resiliency solutions. Our waterfront properties and other valuable natural resources such as wetlands, salt marshes, and dunes make the Land Bank uniquely positioned to help manage and adapt to these climate-induced challenges through nature-based solutions and hybrid green/gray infrastructure projects. Click here to learn more about why the Land Bank is undertaking climate resilience projects.

We maintain early successional habitats with disturbance methods including routine mowing, occasional tree removal, and when weather permits, prescribed fire. If we did not maintain these unique ecosystems in this way, we would experience loss of habitat for rare species that call Nantucket home. Click here to learn more about the Land Bank’s habitat management processes!
