Angel Oak | South Carolina Photo Spot
Share this Page
Angel Oak is more than just a tree; it’s a living monument to the natural world. Estimated to be around 400-500 years old, this majestic Southern live oak stands at a height of 65 feet and boasts a canopy that provides an astonishing 17,000 square feet of shade. Located on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina, Angel Oak is a dream come true for photographers seeking to capture both the grand scale and intricate details of nature. The gnarled and twisting limbs, covered in a quilt of Spanish moss, offer endless opportunities for creative compositions. Early morning or late afternoon are the ideal times to photograph the tree, as the soft, diffused light creates a mystical atmosphere. There’s no admission fee, but donations to help preserve the tree are encouraged.
