cruiz2018 Posted July 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Someone mentioned that the ferry is a lot quicker than the bus from the dockyard to the horseshoe. But I can't seem to find the rate anywhere. I know the bus is 4.50 which is really cheap!! Can t find the ferry rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferries to Hamilton or St. George’s are $4.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So $7 minibus shuttle or 4.50 public bus between Dockyard and Horseshoe? I assume it's 7 both ways? any particular reason.you recommend the mini bus shuttle over the public bus? and are the mini bus shuttles easy to.find?

I would take the min-bus because it loads steps from the cruise ship and unloads just short of the beach. The public bus requires you find a bus stop and unloads on the bus route which requires a walk of ½-¾ mile to the beach. Mini-buses load in Zone 5 of the Transportation Zone: SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styme123 Posted July 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Do the minibuses get filled up fast? Do they have a schedule of when they leave? Is it easy to get one coming back from HSB? Will they take you to other beaches like Somerset or Elbow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they take you to other beaches like Somerset or Elbow? The minibuses don’t run on a schedule. As soon as it is filled which in my experience is about five minutes, it leaves. There are a bunch of them parked next to each other so when one is filled the next one starts filling up. When it gets to the other end that is repeated. They run back and forth all day between the Dockyard and Horseshoe. They don’t run to other beaches or places unless you can get more than 7 people.

(Somerset is a place, not a beach) Perhaps they mean Somerset Long Bay, which is a nice, usually uncrowded beach closer to Dockyard than Horseshoe Bay. My son and daughter-in-law like going there because it's so quiet. In some recent reviews however, people said the beach wasn't kept clean and was littered with broken glass.
