Proven again:  the land bank apothegm about perseverance. In 1990 the land bank first prioritized the land abutting the town/county beach, but had to wait until 2018 when it became available at a price the institution was willing to pay. Following its acquisition the land bank then purchased two additional properties — effectively tripling the length of the public surfline there — and renaturalized the dune on them, by removing the cottages that had been cottered into it.  The land bank has since entered into an agreement with the town of Tisbury calling for the land bank to manage as one all of the public beachlands at the end of the Herring Creek Road.   A revetment marks the beginning of the land bank section; visitors who choose to scramble up and atop its length will find elbow room on its yonder side.
