Getting around from the resort: walking, Water Taxi, rideshares and local transit
From Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa you can walk to nearby beach and Las Olas-area attractions, catch the Water Taxi at Seabreeze Avenue (about an 8-minute walk) for stops along Riverwalk and Las Olas, or use rideshare/taxi services for door-to-door trips to the airport or Port Everglades. Local buses and bike paths run nearby for shorter trips; the hotel does not provide an airport or cruise-port shuttle.

Rideshares, taxis and hotel transport options
Rideshare apps (Uber, Lyft) and local taxis are the quickest option for point-to-point trips such as the 3.5-mile drive to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) or the 4–5 mile trip to Port Everglades. The hotel does not list its own airport shuttle service.
Valet and self-parking are available at the resort for guests arriving by car; the property operates as a cashless environment so expect card or contactless payment for parking and transport charges.
- Airport (FLL): roughly 3.5 miles, about a 6–10 minute drive depending on traffic
- Port Everglades (cruise terminals): about 4–5 miles by road
- Flag down taxis at the covered entrance or request pickup via rideshare apps
| Destination | Typical road distance |
|---|---|
| Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) | ≈ 3.5 miles |
| Port Everglades cruise terminals | ≈ 4–5 miles |
| Las Olas Boulevard | ≈ 2 miles |
Public transit and buses
Local Broward County buses run along major corridors near Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas; schedules and exact nearby stops can change, so check Broward County Transit for current routes and times.
Public buses are more budget-friendly than taxis but require more walking or a short rideshare connection to the closest stop depending on your exact destination.
- Use Broward County Transit (BCT) for routes serving the beach corridor and downtown Fort Lauderdale
- Plan travel times carefully—buses may take longer than a direct rideshare
- Ask the hotel concierge for current route numbers and stop locations
| When to pick it | Advantage |
|---|---|
| Visiting downtown on a budget | Low-cost fares |
| Midday non-rush travel | Avoid heavy traffic |
| When you have time | Reliable fixed schedules |

The Fort Lauderdale Beach Promenade and nearby streets are suitable for walking and biking. The resort offers bicycle rentals (via onsite rental providers) to explore the beachfront and nearby attractions.
