The Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank will be limiting people to one reservation per week at the James Pond Preserve in West Tisbury.

Parking stickers at Lambert's Cove Beach are now required starting at 7 a.m.

The 13-acre James Pond Preserve includes a half-mile trail loop, pond access, ample vegetation and access to 650 feet of white sand beach flanking Lambert’s Cove.

Lambert's Cove Beach will be without lifeguards this summer due to a lack of applicants. Island beach managers say hiring guards has grown difficult in recent years, partially due to the lack of housing.

James Pond Preserve, a 13-acre parcel next to Lambert’s Cove beach in West Tisbury, opened last weekend after a long delay due to a state review process.
