From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Beacon South Beach Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Beacon South Beach Hotel sits in the heart of South Beach, the walkable grid where the classic Miami Beach postcard comes together in just a few blocks. Step outside and the neighborhood unfolds in every direction: the sand at Lummus Park Beach a short stroll away, the pastel facades of Ocean Drive around the corner, and the Art Deco Historic District wrapping the streets you will walk each morning. This is the part of the coast people picture when they imagine the city, and the hotel puts you right inside it.
The location does the heavy lifting for a cruise stay. Española Way, with its narrow lanes and cafe tables, is close enough for a simple dinner, and Lincoln Road Mall, the long pedestrian stretch of shops and restaurants, sits within relaxing reach. The New World Center is neighboring as well, so an evening plan is never far. Because the whole district is built for walking, you can leave the vehicle behind once you reach and cover most of what draws you here on foot.
With the beach right on the doorstep, the hotel makes a simple landing point after a cruise. Drop your luggage at Beacon South Beach Hotel, change, and walk to the water, which is that close. Anything about the stay itself, from rooms to check-in details, lives on the hotel’s own page; our part is getting you and your bags to the front entrance. Look for your driver at the main entrance, and the rest of South Beach opens up from there.
The run from the port to Beacon South Beach Hotel is a single, direct journey, roughly 7.0 miles along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway, commonly 17 to 19 minutes depending on the hour. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the arrivals hall, so once you step off the ship and finish disembarkation, the vehicle is already waiting. There is no scramble for a ride and no stops along the way; the car belongs to your group alone.
Your bags go straight into the vehicle with a hand from the driver, lobby to curb, and the fare already covers fuel and typical tolls. A 60-minute courtesy window at the port absorbs a slow gangway, so a delayed walk-off never costs you the pickup within that time. From the pier it is one clean run to the front entrance of Beacon South Beach Hotel, door to door, one group, one locked fare.
