From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Deauville Beach Resort 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Deauville Beach Resort sits on the north end of the island, where the map trades the crowds of the south for open space. This is the calmer stretch of coast — the run of North Beach, Surfside, and Bal Harbour — with broad beaches, an oceanfront path, and low-key residential blocks. The resort faces the water directly, so the shoreline is only steps from the door.
Arrival day here is about the sand. Plenty of guests come straight off the ship and swap the pool deck for real beach the same afternoon they disembark. The ocean is right there, the walking path runs along it, and there is room to spread out rather than fight for a patch of towel space. After a week at sea, having the water at the end of the block rather than a ride away changes the whole first day.
The neighborhood rewards anyone who stays on past a single night. Bal Harbour Shops and the Surfside beachwalk are close by, and North Beach itself holds the North Beach Bandshell, with Haulover Park a little farther along. It is a more residential corner of the coast — long on beach and ocean air, short on the noise you might anticipate from a resort address. For a traveler stepping off a cruise, that mix of simple water access and quiet streets makes the north end feel like a genuine break rather than another hectic stop.
Book before you dock and disembarkation becomes the simple part. Your reserved SUV is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the hall, and the chauffeur meets your group right at the curb. Bags go straight into the vehicle, and the ride runs to Deauville Beach Resort as a single direct leg — no stops, no line, no dragging luggage across the port.
From the terminal, the route takes Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195, covering roughly 11.4 miles to the resort door. Count on about 26 to 29 minutes, light traffic to heavy. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest, with thousands of passengers walking off at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and that causeway traffic is already built into the plan.

The kids were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Deauville Beach Resort before anyone lost it. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
