Lido_Deck Posted September 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Wondering if it's possible to walk to the beach in Ft. Lauderdale from the cruise port? It begs the question: Why would you want to? From which terminal? There's a big difference between Terminal 2 and Terminal 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted September 7, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Yes, it's possible. Could be a mile and a half or further depending on which pier in the port. Easier to take cab or Uber especially with busy traffic in and out . Edited September 7, 2016 by eandj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 7, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2016 A little reading around the board would reveal that Port Everglades is not very walkable. However, if you are docked at Terminal 2 or 4, it is possible. It is all of 1.5 miles each way...probably more. A look at Google Maps would help you.

royalcruz Posted September 7, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Of course it's possible but it's not an easy walk. It's 1.25 to 2.5 miles to public beach access, depending upon which cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loretta5ue Posted September 7, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I had a conference at the convention center next to the terminal. I walked from my beach hotel every day, not sure if I'd want to do that with luggage. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted September 7, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2016 An alternative to walking if you are at Terminals 2 or 4 near 17th Street is to flag down the Sun Trolley (http://www.suntrolley.com) on the south side (port side) of 17th Street. For $1/ride or $3/day pass it will take you to the beach. As noted by others, the other terminals are a long distance away from 17th Street and the port is not pedestrian friendly; see the port map https://res-1.cloudinary.com/simpleview/image/upload/v1/clients/porteverglades/Port_Facilties_Map_UPDATED_August_5_2016_967fef41-99cb-400e-a99b-a0bbb8b935be.pdf.

myfuzzy Posted September 7, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Sure its walkable, but again, with luggage? What about that 17th street bridge? Its uphill half way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 7, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Sure its walkable, but again, with luggage? What about that 17th street bridge? Its uphill half way! And of course, downhill the other half!:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfuzzy Posted September 7, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) And of course, downhill the other half!:D:D:D It's that first half that causes me to call a cab!! :D:D:D Edited September 7, 2016 by myfuzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted September 7, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 7, 2016 OP hasn't mentioned suitcases. And doubt she/he would want to head to the beach with luggage. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamesEM Posted September 8, 2016 #12 Share Posted September 8, 2016 As a side bar, depending where you are from taking a walk in the FL heat can prove difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
