If so, how far is it??

 

 

 

Go east on 17th toward the bridge only stay left or right all the way to the waters edge. It's about 1/2 to 3/4 mile, guess? The Taxi station is next to the Hilton Hotel.

 

Just checked it's 0.8 mile and a 17 min walk.

Not really. You'd have to walk up to the area of the Hilton Marina, which is about a half mile away, or approx a 15-20 minute walk, or longer. I'm a fast walker and it takes me about 15.

It's a flat, easy walk as long as you aren't bothered by 6 lanes of traffic and, if you are doing it in the summer, the heat and humidity. The Sun Trolley also has a route on 17th Street and leaves from the Harbor Shops right behind the Embassy Suites. You would just wave it down for the return trip. It is $1/ride or $3/day pass. See http://www.suntrolley.com.

Not far and fairly easy walk if know where you are going.

 

Otherwise-

 

Walk out of back entrance of parking area.

 

Cross Harbor shopping plaza to Publix.

 

Catch Sun Trolley $1 each ride or $3 all day pass

 

Ask driver to set you down at Water Trolley.

 

We found everyone locally extremely helpful.
