Review & FAQ:

Battery and White Point Gardens is a free-admission public garden area in Charleston's historic district, offering beautiful views of nearby Fort Sumter and Charleston Harbor. The gardens were originally developed in 1837 and were famously used as fortifications during the American Civil War. Historic weapons and fortifications are still standing today at the gardens, including mortars and cannons, which may be viewed during daylight hours. A Confederate monument is also showcased at the site, along with a memorial at the hanging site of infamous 18th-century pirate Stede Bonnet. The park is located at the intersections of Murray Boulevard and East Battery, with street parking available nearby.
