Charleston Sights

  1. Aquarium Wharf

    The Aquarium Wharf surrounds pretty Liberty Sq and is a great place to stroll around and watch the tugboats guiding ships into the seventh largest container port in the US. The wharf is the embarkation point for tours to Fort Sumter. Boat tours of the harbor depart from the harbor tour dock and nearby Charleston Maritime Center. Also here is the IMAX Theater.

  2. South Carolina Aquarium

    The excellent South Carolina Aquarium covers 69,000 sq ft, almost all of which are devoted to South Carolina habitats, flora and fauna. The best part of the aquarium is the 330,000-gallon Great Ocean Tank, where sharks, massive fish and a giant loggerhead turtle swim behind a two-story window.
