INSTAGRAMMABLE PLACES IN CHARLESTON – PARKS
HAMPTON PARK
This is a real hidden gem and so beautiful! I happened to come across it on Google Maps when looking for a playground for my kids. The trees here are stunning, perfect for anyone with an nature themed aesthetic.
WATERFRONT PARK
There are multiple Instagrammeable spots in Waterfront Park. The brick street is perfectly lined with trees, again, perfect for any nature inspired Instagram grid.
If you have a sun, sea and sky vibe, the cute pier is the place for you. The iconic Pineapple Fountain is one of the most photographed places in Charleston, for good reason, it’s so unique.
CYPRESS GARDENS
This is another hidden gem of Charleston, a lot of people skip it as you need a car to get there. These gardens are about half an hour’s drive from the main city but worth it. It’s also where the boat scene in The Notebook was filmed making it one of the most Instagrammable places in Charleston SC.
INSTAGRAMMABLE PLACES IN CHARLESTON – CAFES
CAMELLIAS at HOTEL BENNETT
Pink places are my Instagram specialty. Not only is Hotel Bennett super Instagrammable from the outside, but hidden inside, is a luxury pink dream.
As I already mentioned, you’ll come across plenty of Instagram-worth cafes in Charelston. Rise Coffee Bar and Clerks were two we went to. In full honesty, Rise is super cute but the drinks weren’t great! Clarkes was nicer and was also very family-friendly.
OTHER INSTAGRAMMABLE PLACES IN CHARLESTON
KING STREET
King Street is one of Charleston’s most picturesque streets, lined with palm trees. Everywhere on King Street is Instagram-worthy, you’ll find plenty of pretty cafes, cute independent boutiques and shops from H&M to Louis Vuitton.
RAINBOW ROW
Here is another of Charleston’s most famous places. This colourful row of rainbow houses will have something to fit everyone’s vibe. Of course, I liked the pink house and my son liked running round the lampost with me!
We were told to get to this location early as it gets busy however we didnt get here till the afternoon and it wasn’t busy at all!
CHARLESTON CITY HALL
If you’re searching for a historic Charleston photo location, check out Charelston City Hall. It’s such a beautiful building with so many angles you could capture, if you like a neutral grid, this is perfect!
THE MILLS HOUSE HOTEL
My Charleston SC Instagram guide wouldn’t be complete without another pink location. This spot could have been designed for me (Alex Mills) and it’s gorgeous. If it’s not Instagrammable, I don’t know what is!
INSTAGRAMMABLE PLACES IN CHARLESTON – OTHER AREAS
