Why does Saul go to Caesarea?

Actes 9:30 (NEG79)

30 Les frères, l'ayant su, l'emmenèrent à Césarée, et le firent partir pour Tarse.

When the Christian believers realise that Saul’s life is in danger, they make a plan to take him to Tarsus. In order to accomplish this, they must first travel roughly one hundred kilometres to Caesarea Maritima, a harbour city to the north-west of Jerusalem.1 From this city Saul would be able to travel by ship back to his hometown of Tarsus.
