Marie51 Posted February 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I know there’s a lot of construction around the pier in Nassau. I would like to take a taxi to the beach but with limited mobility I would need to know how long the walk is to get to the taxi area? I was in Nassau in August but stayed on the ship due to mobility issues. Thanks for any helpful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted February 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It really depends on what part of the pier your ship docks at. If you're at the closest one, it not at long walk. If it's the furthest away, it could be close to a half mile away. I've seen golf carts shuttle passengers back and forth if that helps. They work on tips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisCJR Posted February 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'd say it might be a tad longer. During our recent trip, we walked out from the white tent you see towards the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted February 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Just hop on one of the golf carts and ride it as far they will take you then short walk to the street to get a taxi. Make sure you are getting in a legitimate taxi and ask fare price as soon as you get on. One of the closest beaches to port is Junkanoo beach which is nice public / free beach with easy access. Also can rent lounge chair/umbrella and get food/drink at one of the huts on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted March 2, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Have a look at the Nassau and Paradise Island webcams. They pan around, but perhaps you can get an idea of the length of the piers, and the activity around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BDNANA Posted March 24, 2022 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I have seen the carts on the port cams and I'm really hoping that they will shuttle🤩 . I was thinking we would have to just stay on the ship. That's a long walk with cane in hand.😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights on the Beach Posted March 26, 2022 #11 Share Posted March 26, 2022 There were golf carts there last Friday taking people back and forth. I'm not sure if that's something the ship could help you arrange or if you need to ask when you arrive in port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
