When Charleston was founded in 1680, the peninsula’s tip was covered in brilliant white oyster shells. But it was outside of the “Walled City” – Charleston was the only British city in the colonies surrounded by a fortified wall for defense. So, for the first hundred years, Oyster Point was largely ignored. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t used from...
The promenade is an elevated concrete platform along the wall in the gentle curve at the peninsula’s tip. Until 2022, the Battery Promenade was the point where the High Battery Seawall and Low Battery Seawall met. But after a recent multi-million-dollar project, the two sides of the seawall are now the same height. From the promenade, Charleston Ha...
Land on the Charleston peninsula was always at a premium. By the 1700s, the city had outgrown the walled fortification and expanded from the Ashley River to the Cooper River. An idea was hatched to expand the peninsula southward by filling in Oyster Point. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. That age-old saying was tested when the cit...
In 1836, Charleston Mayor Robert Hayne announced an ambitious project to build a public park on Oyster Point. A new seawall would be built from the end of the High Battery Seawall extending to the northwest end of the peninsula, and the brilliant white oyster shells would be backfilled for the park.

With a commanding view of the water across Charleston Harbor, the beautiful architecture of the historic homes, and free parking, it’s probably one of my favorite places to visit in the city. Here are a few ti...
The Battery is located at the very tip of the Charleston Peninsula, which makes it equally easy to find and difficult to get there. Regardless of which direction I arrive in the city, I prefer taking East Bay Street to The Battery. After passing Broad Street – aptly named because it’s the widest street in the city – there are no more traffic lights...
Charleston SC. The Battery in Charleston is a fortified seawall and promenade. It is one of downtown Charleston’s most visited spots. The wall stretches along the shore of the Charleston peninsula, bordered by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers which come together to form the Charleston Harbor.
