boat dock
Watercraft parking spot
A boat dock is a structure extending from shore into water where boats can be moored, loaded, or unloaded.
The term usually refers to a wooden platform or pier at a lake, river, or marina: We sat on the boat dock watching the sunset.
Dock alone often suffices; boat dock emphasizes the structure's purpose or distinguishes it from other waterfront features.
