It sounds like you'd like to spend some time on the Boardwalk. Yes, you can take a bus to DHS and then either walk or take a Friendship boat over (you can disembark at the Swan/Dolphin and walk over to the Boardwalk, or go to each stop - Swan/Dolphin, BC/YC and then Boardwalk to get there directly). You can also uber/lyft/taxi/Minnie Van from POFQ to the Boardwalk.
