The pier at Waterfront Park is one of the most popular walking destinations for both locals and visitors in Charleston. With spectacular views of the entire Charleston Harbor (including water traffic ranging from the largest container ships in the world to frolicking dolphins), Fort Sumter, the fountains in the park and even the steeple of St. Philip’s Church, it’s a wonderful spot to take in the sights, sounds and smells of Charleston. It’s also one of the stops of the Charleston Water Taxi, on which you can get out of the water for just a few dollars and really experience the Charleston Harbor.
