Walk through Allan Park and head southeast toward the tip of the peninsula. The park is lined with oak trees and offers a quiet start before the crowds gather.

Stand at White Point Garden and watch the sun set toward the WSW. This 5.7-acre park at the southern tip provides an open view of the harbor and the Cooper River as the light fades.

Walk four minutes back toward the waterfront to Slightly North of Broad for dinner. The restaurant serves traditional Southern cuisine that changes with the seasons, making it a perfect spot for an early evening meal.
