No, they don't unless start of service at 19:00 is public transport to you. To me, it is not. If you stay in a hotel on the north beach and laze on the beach indeed you don't need it. But keep in mind that the few attractions Eilat has to offer ( the dolphin reef, aquarium) are not in a walking distance. Bottom line - you need a car ( parking issues, congestion) or a taxi ( little availability, overpriced, poor service, congestion).
