June 19, 2022 This was rates as one of the place to go to when you visit South Carolina. Very close to Rainbow Raw houses, can walk to here or drive side parking only. It’s literally a PINEAPPLE FOUNTAIN. There are kids playing and swimming into the fountain, that was unexpected. Hard to take a picture of the fountain by itself. There are lots of sitting area and can watch the boats passing by. Pet friendly.

A nice historic parking with many shady trees and park benches for you to rest and drink your fresh lemonade. Near the water which gives you a nice comfortable breeze. Don't forget to see the iconic Pineapple Water Fountain. Also the beautiful home along the side of the park.

A staple must do on your Charleston visit! Enjoy the park with trails under oaks or along the marsh, benches, swings on the dock leading to the marsh, a dock by the Tug Boats, and of course infamous Pineapple Fountain. One of the best views of the Charleston area bay and especially for sunrise! You can find me here occasionally doing my morning rucks or on the docks enjoying the sea! We hope you enjoy our beautiful city of Charleston! - The Pirate Hunter

Great views! Long boardwalk. Plenty of benches. Scenic walkways. Marvelous foliage and canopy of trees. Great viewing of dolphins lazily transversing the waterway. Try a dip in the fountain...it's refreshing!
