tichinose Posted April 18, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2005 are there any shops to walk around near the docks in ft, lauderdale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss Posted April 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2005 There are some fun shops around the beach area which is not far. You can take a water taxi all around the area from the pier location to the beach area. The water taxi's are very reasonable, I think $10 for a day pass to ride as many times as you want.

hstrybuf Posted April 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2005 The shopping is by the hotels. No hotels or shopping (or walking) by the docks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted April 18, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I think $10 for a day pass to ride as many times as you want. :( Two years ago, it was $5. Anyone know of a grocery store near Las Olas Boulevard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajdegumbia Posted April 18, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Off the top of my head the only grocery store is a Publix on 17th about 3 blocks from the Marina Marriott and across the street from the Embassy Suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted April 18, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2005 That's the one we used last time. From where we are staying this cruise, we will need a taxi. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted April 19, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I thought I recently read that the old Publix closed (near the drug store in the strip mall) and the new one is behind Embassy Suites/Amerisuites. Hopefully someone can verify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memcrus Posted April 19, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yes, that is correct. the new Publix is about 2 blocks from the Embassy Suites on Cordova Rd. Across 17th st. on Cordova Rd is a Winn-Dixie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotmike98 Posted April 19, 2005 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2005 The beach side shops are of the touristy t-shirt type. The water taxi will take you to the more upscale shopping on Los Osas (resort clothing, jewelry, art galleries, restaurants, etc.). They run two water taxi lines, and you may have to transfer, but the ticket is good for all day, and if you tip the driver, they will point out present and former owners of many of the waterside mansions along the route.
