I assume your ship is docking at the Royal Naval Dockyard, in which case the privately operated shuttle vans are the way to go. Last I checked they cost $7 per person one way, but it's possible the price has changed this year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrata Posted April 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2022 marnie2005 the shuttle van is fine but be aware that most drivers will not leave until every seat is filled. If it is early in the morning, you could be waiting for awhile. US cash accepted. Taxis will also be available but they are more expensive. (about $35, for up to 4 people, different rate for more than 4) I like to get to the beach as early as possible so husband and I took a taxi to the beach and the shuttle back. The taxis are really nice and have air conditioning. The shuttle vans can be fine with a great driver or a vehicle that has seen better days. enjoy Bermuda! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggal Posted April 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Are there chairs and umbrellas available to rent? Approximate cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There always were chairs and umbrellas to rent...I can't recall prices off hand. Maybe about $40 for two chairs and an umbrella?? There's a new beach concessionaire so whatever the prices were in the past might not be indicative of what they will be this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zestyzorra Posted May 3, 2022 #13 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Does anyone know how early the mini busses run from Royal Naval Dockyard to Horseshoe Beach? And how late? I am interested in going early on the day we sail away from Bermuda (at 2pm), but I also wondered if it would be possible to see the sunset one night as well? TIA!

Otherwise bus drops off top of hill and quite a walk if you are older or problems walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually got on them around 8:30 am. So I would guess 8:00 or so. The drivers told me they finish up until the beach empties out 5 or 5:30. That was when the concession was picking up rented chairs an umbrellas. Also cruise passengers heading back to the Dockyard before dinner. Since I always got there by 9 am ish I never stayed that late. The concession was opening at 9 so that was why I timed it to arrive around then but since it was just opened there could be a line for rentals then. I have done Horseshoe the last day with the ship all aboard at 1, 2 or 3. As for sunset that is late. You would probably have to arrange for a taxi to pick you up.

ZipGirl Posted May 6, 2022 #19 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Question...If we take a taxi, how do we arrange for a taxi back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are at the beach during the day, 9 ish to 5 ish. there will be plenty of taxis and minibuses when you want to go back. If you want to stay late, after 5 or so like for a sunset, then arrange for your taxi driver to return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
