The waterfront park has magnificent views and plenty of places for sitting, strolling and visiting. Not only are the view of the Charleston harbor excellent, but the eye candy in the park is fabulous - Live Oaks shading green spaces - fountains where children can wade and walkways along the waterfront. This park is HUGE. It's a great meeting place,... More

Nothing really special about the park - calm, scerene and cute. But it does have the best views of the River.

The waterfront park in Charleston was a wonderful end to an evening. We had dinner and then strolled on the pier. The wind and smell of the ocean was relaxing. When you reach the end of the pier you have a vast view of the water,harbour, and sail boats.

This park is very conveniently located so there are no long walks to get to it. We were able to score a parking spot right in front of the main water fountain (meter). My 2-year-old loved playing in the fountain. Definitely bring extra clothes and a towel because you are actually able to walk right into the fountain and enjoy... More

Only problem here is that my wife and I could never get a swing to sit in. Other than that, this is a great place to take a stroll with your significant other and look out into the bay. Do not miss the pictures you can get here.

We both had never been to Charleston and decided to spend our honeymoon there. After researching on line we decided to go with the Harborview inn. GLAD WE DID. The location, the staff, the room and the service was amazing! They made us feel like we were royalty. We were in walking distance to everything we wanted to do. To... More
