Parks & Coastal Nature

Charleston’s natural landscape blends historic defense sites with centuries-old horticulture. This collection features Fort Sumter, the sea fort where the Civil War began, and Magnolia Plantation, home to some of America’s oldest public gardens along the Ashley River. Urban green spaces like White Point Gardens offer harbor views and military monuments, while Hampton Park and Washington Square provide shaded retreats near historic landmarks. From the waterfront vistas of Colonial Lake to the quiet paths of Cannon Park, these sites showcase the Lowcountry’s coastal heritage and botanical diversity.
