Proposal Sites in Charleston/ Fourth of July -Patriots Point
I think the 2 best fireworks displays are Patriots Point and Isle of Palms. From my dock I can see about 5 different displays (some are pretty far away tho) and these 2 are always the longest and prettiest. I live on the Isle of Palms and the last few years displays have been VERY good. You could sit out on the beach and watch/propose. Or go out on the pier and do the same. I%26#39;m not sure about the best spots at Patriots Point. I think it would be great to propose at the end of the fireworks display - it would be memorable and you would be reminded of it everytime you see fireworks. If you wanted you could probly work in something along the lines of ';since you put the fireworks in my life...etc.'; Or maybe that is too corney, haha.
If you plan to propose at a different time than the fireworks I would suggest Waterfront Park or the gazebo at the Battery. The gazebo would be a great spot. It will be very hot and humid around the 4th, so take care to choose a time when your biggest memory won%26#39;t be that you were soaked in sweat when you proposed. At the end of a nice meal in one of the good upscale restaurants would be nice and no sweat involved.
Hope this gives you some ideas, if you have more questions, just ask.
Proposal Sites in Charleston/ Fourth of July -Patriots Point
There are also many beautiful churches here that often open during the day to look inside, if this is of interest to you.
The inside of the Cathedral of John the Baptist is particulary pretty. Very ornate inside.
wow those are really good ideas that have given me some more vision thanks. Let me ask you perosnally...is this not a great place...Charleston that is.....for a proposal?!!
Believe it or not the only fireworks display I have been to was for the opening of the new bridge. So I can%26#39;t comment on the 4th fireworks. As far as proposal sites, well, the possibilities are endless. There are so many places that any and all of them could be ';the right'; place. You could do it at a romantic candlelit restaurant downtown or on a private carriage ride, you could walk to the top of the Ravenel Bridge overlooking the Cooper River (the traffic in the background might take away from it though), you could go to a Plantation and find a secluded spot in the gardens, there is the gazebo in the middle of battery park, you could take a evening stroll along the beach and watch the sunset, you could sit in one of the swings at Waterfont Park overlooking the harbor. It%26#39;s endless.
I am not familiar with the beaches...is folly beach the place where you would be able to see the fireworks well and enjoy a beach...is there a better place (beachwise) to go besides folly. Isn%26#39;t the pier at folly beach? I also seen the gazebo area at the battery....can you see the fireworks from there? That would be excellent if so. Thanks for you help.
There are usually fireworks at ';The Joe'; baseball stadium after the Riverdogs (our local farm team) game as well as the ones previously mentioned. It is near the Ashley River - Lockwood Dr. at Fishburn St. Who knows - they might even put up a sign for you!
You can see the fireworks from Patriots Point from Waterfront Park.
A friend of mine was proposed to in one of the carriage rides for two before going to a nice restaurant. If you have a car, Angel Oak is a nice spot, too. It is pretty far away from downtown.
I was at a football game one time when a mascot that nobody recognized came up the aisle waving at the crowd. He suddenly got down on one knee and proposed to a girl behind me. When she accepted and took the ring, he took off the funny head to get a kiss.
Some of the gardens around the Nathaniel Russell House and the Edmonston Alston House have some secuded spots, too. You don%26#39;t even have to pay for the tour to see the gardens.
Best wishes to you.
Can you see the fourth of July fireworks really good from waterfront park??? What about the gazebo on the battery? Is there a fireworks view from there?
Are there usually lots of people at either of these sites on July 4th? What about the beaches? Which beaches will give you the best view of the fireworks?
Keep pouring on the info and suggestions thanks everyone.
I didn%26#39;t know that you wanted to propose during the actual fireworks display. This makes it a little more tricky. You could get a room at the Hilton Charleston Harbor Resort At Patriots Point. Tell them your plans to propose and that you need a room with a balcony that you can view the fireworks. You will have more privacy this way, most places to view the fireworks are going to be crowded. Make arrangements for champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to be delivered. It will cost a few bucks but she is worth it right?
No, you will not be able to see the fireworks from the gazebo at the battery, too many trees blocking it and it sits too far back.
Charleston would make a wonderful honeymoon trip too! Good luck.
well perhaps before or after the fireworks, but thanks for the idea.
Someone mentioned the Angel Oak on Johns Island. The Angel oak is about a 20 minute drive south of Charleston. It has been around for about 1500 years, so it is highly symbolic.
You could spend the first part of the day at Beachwalker Park, the public beach access on Kiawah Island. Be at the beach early, because of the holiday. Once you are on the beach, you can walk the entire 12 mile Kiawah beach to get away from crowds. Then, stop at the Angel Oak for the proposal on your way back to Charleston. Be at the Oak before 5 pm, because sometimes it closes then.
Go back to Charleston for a great early dinner (make sure you have reservations) and the fireworks.
