Downtown Phillipsburg is accessible from the pier via water taxi. $5/pp/day for unlimited trips.

I suppose it's walkable. I *think* it's a couple of miles one way. Not a terribly picturesque stroll if you ask me.

Perhaps something else as well. Watch this space.

Tef43 is right, the walk would be perhaps 15 -20 minutes, and not particularly scenic but certainly do-able. In the map below, the cruise ship pier is on the southeast corner of Great Bay, to the bottom right.

For five bucks, I'd take the water taxi (for which you get unlimited use for the day). A regular taxi would only be a few dollars.

"Good God, he's talking with parrots - Painting his dreams in the sand
Piling up beaucoup demerits, Doing it just 'cause he can
But Peter Pan would understand his schemes and dreams and ploys
Best keep an eye on his slight hand, He's such an altered boy"
