From Port Everglades to Beach or Water Taxi for day?

[tabprincess]

Can anyone tell me how we can get from Port Everglades to a beach or to the Water Taxi? We are on a BTB and want to take the turn around day to go to a beach or ride the Water Taxi, but have never done either from Port Everglades. I would imagine the only option is a taxi, but thought I'd see if anyone has done this & how you managed it.

Thank you for any help!

If you are docked at pier 2 or 4 (2 is always Princess and I think 4 usually is too) you can easily walk from there to the Hilton Marina water taxi stop (http://www.watertaxi.com). See the port map at http://www.porteverglades.net/includes/content/docs/media/PEG545_MultiMapBrochure_Map_REVISED-Feb-17-2015.pdf. The Hilton Marina is under the binoculars icon on the west side of the 17th Street bridge. To get to the beach from terminals 2 or 4 just flag down the eastbound (heading over the bridge) Sun Trolley (http://www.suntrolley.com) on 17th Street - it's only a mile or two ride (depending on where you get off). The Sun Trolley is $1/ride or $3/day pass.

 

If you are at any other terminal, the port is not conducive for walking so take a taxi.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply! It sounds really easy from Pier 2, so let's hope that is where we dock.

If you are on the Royal or the Regal you will be at pier 2 unless both are in port at the same time (only occurs infrequently) and then most likely Regal (the newest) will be at pier 2.
