Visiting Charleston? Best Spots to Take Photos

Historic Downtown Charleston

This is a no-brainer, but I’d like to encourage you to think outside of the box. This beautiful city has picturesque historic buildings with unlimited color scheme options, gorgeous gates, and so many more options. 

The Pineapple Fountain

The pineapple fountain is a Charleston icon that represents our city’s hospitality and charm. You’ll want to go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. (Especially if you’re visiting Charleston in the summertime, because when it’s hot out, children turn this charming fountain into a kiddie pool!) 

Rainbow Row

Another favorite for Charleston tourists and natives alike, Rainbow Row offers lots of background color scheme choices, the historic charm that Charleston is famous for, and it’s instantly recognizable as the Holy City. If you want photos that will remind you of your Charleston vacation, this might be just the spot for you!

Charleston Beaches

There are few things in this world as breath-taking as the beach at sunset (or sunrise!). And Charleston has several amazing beaches within just a few minutes that provide the perfect photo opportunity, whether you’re visiting Charleston of have lived here your whole life.
