Named for a civil-war coastal defense artillery battery at the site, it stretches along the lower shores of the Charleston peninsula, bordered by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, which meet here to form Charleston harbor. Historically, it has been understood to extend from the beginning of the seawall at the site of the former Omar Shrine Temple (40-44 East Bay Street) to the intersection of what is now Murray Boulevard and King Street. The higher part of the promenade, paralleling East Battery, as the street is known south of Water Street, to the intersection of Murray Boulevard, is known as High Battery. Fort Sumter is visible from the Cooper River side (High Battery) and the point, as is Castle Pinckney, the World War II aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10), Fort Moultrie, and Sullivan’s Island.
Fort Broughton (ca. 1735) and Fort Wilkins (during the American Revolution and War of 1812) occupied White or Oyster Point, so named because of the piles of bleached oyster shells on the point at the tip of the peninsula. In the 18th century, rocks and heavy materials were used to fortify the shore of the Cooper River on the eastern side of the peninsula. In 1838, this area of the Battery, known as High Battery, became a promenade. First used as a public park in 1837, the area now known as White Point Garden became a place for artillery during the American Civil War.
In popular speech and in a number of unofficial guidebooks and Web sites, The Battery and White Point Garden are sometimes referred to as “Battery Park,” but the park and seawall promenade are not regarded by the City of Charleston as a single entity, and the term “Battery Park” is not an official designation.
In 2004, a structural report by the City of Charleston showed that the Battery was suffering serious problems and could fail to protect the southeastern portion of the city during hurricanes. In 2012, the City announced that a $3.2 million restoration project would soon commence at the conjure of High Battery (along East Battery) and Low Battery (along Murray Blvd.).

Tour Pass was easy to use, admission was fast and easy everywhere we went. Helped in planning our day to day. Great info included on the app. Would definitely use again!
The Tour Pass for Charleston was so easy to use to get into all the attractions on the list and customer service was quick to respond and very kind. I would definitely purchase again!
Bought the Tour Pass for Charlestown, SC. Besides food I didn’t spend money on anything else— I was able to take Horse-drawn tours- Boat tours and countless free entries to museums, Aquarium etc. I was even telling the Uber Drivers about it so they could pass the info to other tourists!
We purchased the 2 day tour for Charleston and were so glad we did! The 3 premium tours we picked were excellent and we had fun adding the standard tours where we could fit them in. An excellent value. I would highly recommend it.
I was just scrolling on facebook when an add jumped out at me. I was planning a trip to Savannah and trying to figure out what all to do while my family was there. TourPass was a great find because you pay one time and can do multiple things in a day. They have so many options and many of them are must see/do tours so it worked out great. We really enjoyed all the tours we booked through TourPass and the app was very easy to use. I would definitely recommend using it if you’re traveling to any of the cities there are in.
We did three tours, the hop on hop off trolley tour, the guided riverboat ride and the haunted pub crawl. All were easy to find, had great narrators/tour guides and were just a lot of fun. We will definitely return soon!
The horse drawn carriage tour of Charleston was a fantastic experience, our guide Ian along with his sidekick Chester did a wonderful job! We would highly suggest this tour!!
The kayaking experience was a different in that there was not a calming experience through the Marina, you had to jockey around boats and fisherman lines heading out into open water, it was quite busy with both of those issues. This tour was okay.
Great way to see the town! One pass with sooo many options. We went on our favorite tour with this pass. Savannah Port Tour! We got to see so much in a day. Easy to use as well. We had no problems checking into any tour or house. Another good thing about the pass…. Not sure we would have known about all these options without the pass! Many thanks!
I purchased the Tour Pass for two people for 2 days. We started early each day and tried to experience as many opportunities as we could. Using it was super easy and we saved money over the individual admission prices. I highly recommend!
This pass was great. I was able to take multiple tours and they were all included in the price. I will defiantly use this option again when traveling.
We got the 4 day pass and spent 1 full week in Charelston. We scheduled 4 featured tours for each night/day and filled in the rest of the time with the amazing standard tours. It made our stay a great time. I recommend this pass.
We live in Jacksonville and regularly in St. Augustine for day trips or long weekends. Tour Pass was fantastic to use during a recent long weekend visit. We booked the two-day pass to take advantage of our favorite attractions with the added benefit of trying some new things we had not visited in the MANY trips to the Old City. Unfortunately, a hurricane forced the closure of many attractions in the middle of the day on Day 2 but an email to Tour Pass was quickly responded to and offered a great solution. We loved the opportunity to revisit some attractions we had seen before and were excited to experience some for the first time. We could squeeze in quite a few in the one and a half days . We were looking forward to using Tour Pass on our next visit to Savannah!
The tour pass was awesome! We had so much to do and it was very easy and convenient to use. Definitely worth purchasing. You really end up saving money. I wish they would have more than three days max. I would definitely purchase more days. It was a wonderful trip!
Tour guide was very knowledgeable! Pass was a great savings and allowed us to do a lot more things.
Tour Pass was very convenient. Places had my name when I arrived. Didn't have to buy tickets
