Our Take

Pineapples are a symbol of hospitality, especially in the Southeast, and there's no city that takes hospitality more seriously than Charleston. This fountain, located at Waterfront Park downtown, is a popular spot for photos by locals and tourists alike. It's Charleston's version of Chicago's Bean, if you will. I like to take a stroll over here as a break between sampling the countless incredible restaurants and bars in town. Visit Rainbow Row and the Historic Market on the way over.

“in waterfront park!”

Waterfront Park is a eight-acre park along approximately one-half mile of the Cooper River in Charleston, South Carolina. The 1,200 foot palmetto lined esplanade follows the natural water line ensuring public access to the water’s edge. In the middle of the grassy lawn is the Pineapple Fountain, a large fountain shaped like a pineapple located immediately in front of the City Gallery.
