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. More

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

Not enough swings there is a waiting period. There is always a refreshing breeze & you can watch the ships come & go. More

I loved this pretty little spot on our recent trip. We were really hot after walking a few miles round Charleston in the mid day sun, so we were keen to cool off in the fountain.

We visited the waterfront park today. Totally loved the view, We could see Pt. Pleasant, Yorktown, Fort Sumter. They have large swings you can sit in inder shade and watch all the sites. We saw 4 dolphins feeding close to shore. Also large cargo ships passing under the bridge. Excellent place to get out of the sun and relax. More
