As a person who is very fair-skinned and has to keep out of the sun this park is fantastic for someone like me. All the giant trees are a delight. It's the perfect way for someone with sensitive skin to finally enjoy the ocean without running away from the sun.

Yes, this is basically a city park at the southern tip of the peninsula where Charleston is located. Open spaces, trees, the harbor, grand and huge homes next to it, and Ft. Sumter in the distance. While we were there we saw a dog obedience class and an open air wedding (it was Saturday). We also discovered that it was... More

My boyfriend and I always try to get a nice dinner downtown. Afterwards, I always beg to go take a walk. There's a pathway right next to the water so you get to feel the breeze and enjoy the sunset. The park itself had so much history to it, and it is simply beautiful. The grass is always green, it's... More

The perfect time to visit the Battery is in the early-ish hours of the morning, before the heat and humidity stifle your enjoyment. The breeze is beautiful, the scent of newly-opened flowers is intoxicating, the view of the the Harbor, the convergence of the Ashley and Cooper Rivers is great, and just walking around, taking in the sights of the...

Spring in Charleston is the perfect time to stop and smell the jasmine in bloom and enjoy the warm (bot not stifling) weather. This area is safe and dog friendly (when on leash). Grounds are kept clean and lots of historical statues, markers, etc. to see.

The houses in the area date back to the 1700s and 1800s and they are beautiful. Worth spending an hour walking around in the area. No bus loads of tourists, just some piece and... More

We have been to Charleston several times and visit the battery on more than one ocasion. The park was nice and shady, the homes are spectacular, the views onto the harbor are wonderful. The day we went it was very windy. Water was spashing up onto the side walk, the sail boats were out in force traveling very fast. The... More

You get the full feeling of the Charleston charm, looking at the stately colorful surrounding homes. The water view ,boats passing and just sitting and relaxing under the beautiful oak trees.Good picture opts.

The Battery is the place to be in Charleston ... we walked the area every day that we were there. The charming old homes make this place so beautiful. The sea breeze, salt air, and the view of Fort Sumter in the distance makes it unique and interesting. I never get tired of this place when we go to Charleston.
