The Most Instagram-worthy Spots in Charleston
Rainbow Row
Rainbow Row is a display of 13 beautiful homes in downtown Charleston that are famous for their bright colors and Georgian architecture. Located on East Bay Street, Rainbow Row is just a short walk to the waterfront for even more spectacular views.
The Angel Oak Tree
The whimsical Angel Oak Tree is thought to be one of the oldest living things in the country. The Angel Oak is estimated to be in excess of 400-500 years old, stands over 66 feet tall. The winding braches draped in spanish moss really create the most picturesque scenery. Despite being located on John’s Island, the Angel Oak has come to symbolize Charleston and is a must see!
The Pineapple Fountain
The Pineapple Fountain has been a focal point at the Charleston Waterfront Park for almost 3 decades. The pineapple motif represents hospitality and is frequently found all over Charleston. During the hot summers, children cool off and splash around in the fountain, grown-ups are welcome too!
The Battery
The Battery is a historic defensive seawall at the Southernmost tip of the Charleston peninsula. With an abundance of oak trees draped in Spanish moss, this park is easily one of Charleston’s most popular spots. Catch great views of the Ravenel Bridge or snap a pic in front of the many beautiful and historic homes that line the perimeter of the Battery.
Middleton Place
The Middleton Place National Historic Landmark is a place where the past greets the present with scenery more than 250 years old. See history come alive, explore working stable yards and find tranquility in the gardens, Middleton Place has a lot to offer. Middleton is also home to the oldest landscaped gardens in America. The views are amazing, not to mention the historic significance of Middleton. This place is a must see!
Peaceful & Beautiful
This was my families first time at the ocean and I will never forget the look of joy on my youngest daughter’s face the moment the waves first came up on her feet. The beach was not over crowded, was clean, and was great for relaxing, swimming, and collecting seashells. There is a long pier for fishing off of and it is a beautiful sight at night. The town atmosphere was a nice mix between relaxing and having a good time and can work for the over 21 crowd as well as for families with small kids. There are plenty of great food stops and cute shops.
Fantastic & Peaceful
This beach is very relaxing and a great place to chill out. We saw several dolphins and enjoyed walking on the fishing pier. I would consider staying on the beach here next time we are in Charleston instead of downtown.
Cute, Calm & Peaceful
First time visitor to Folly Beach–loved it! Quiet and peaceful with many trees left on island.
