Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

A beautiful little nook in Charleston, SC which was a hideout for pirates! (There was even an escape tunnel to the water.)

I was wondering if the Pirates Courtyard is a public space. Looks like a nice spot to take a break. Wouldn’t want to intrude on someones private space.

asks Carolyn M., from Youngstown, Ohio…

The Pirates Courtyard is a very cool spot in Charleston, which is rich in history (the house dates from the early 1700’s, and Blackbeard is said to have frequented it) and some great stories (did you know that there was a tunnel from one of the buildings down to the water so the pirates could escape  if necessary?). Unfortunately, it is private property. But Charleston being such a welcoming city, if you ask a resident, perhaps they’ll invite you in for a peek.
