ImaSquidward Posted August 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Has anyone gone to Horseshoe Bay Beach and taken a ride to and from the beach itself. I understand that the road to the beach is very steep and takes about 5-10 minutes to walk. I heard that it is $1 per person each way. What kind of transportation is it? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookish Angel Posted August 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2008 However, there's usually a van driver that charges a dollar per person per ride if you are so inclined. I think the van is air conditioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg53 Posted August 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The van driver is very nice and worth the $1 if anybody in your party is not able to do the walk. We walked to the beach but my mom was not able to do the walk back to the bus station so we paid the $1 each for the van. It was a super short ride and the driver took the time to point out some fun Bermuda facts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should have told him you only had two bucks on you. He may have settled for that. I guess it depends on how slow it was for him for the day. We only paid $1 a piece .

ispooks Posted August 12, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2008 i agree - the downhill walk is ok - but, after spending the day in the sun, especially if you have kids or older relatives, it was the best $1 pp we spent on the entire vacation!:) it is just a car or van that drives you up to the top of the hill...

dtiger Posted August 12, 2008 #12 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The usual guy only charges $1 and I've been on it with only one other person. It's a white van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a picture next to the sign. It says "$1.00 to the top of the Hill, Best dollar you spent all day". Boy was that the truth! After walking the beach and swimming all day that $1.00 was worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Luv2Cruz* Posted August 12, 2008 #14 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's always a good idea to carry small bills when in port whether it is for a cab, or a van up the hill!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
