Angel Oak

Visit Angel Oak on Johns Island to stand beneath a vast live oak canopy and see its sweeping limbs. The short stop requires a separate drive from downtown.

Angel Oak

Why go

The tree is protected within a city park, and its immense spread is best understood from the ground around it. Walk slowly around the canopy to see how the low branches change shape and scale. The visit suits a Johns Island outing more than a peninsula walking day.

What to look for

  • Low limbs reach far beyond the trunk.
  • The canopy shades a broad clearing around the tree.

Useful to know

  • Keep food, drinks, blankets, props, and tripods away from the tree, as the park rules require.
  • Combine the drive with another Johns Island stop rather than returning downtown immediately.
