floating pier
Water-level landing platform
A floating pier is a dock or walkway that rests on the water's surface rather than being fixed to the bottom on pilings.
It rises and falls with the tide or water level, maintaining a constant height relative to boats moored alongside: The marina replaced its old fixed docks with floating piers.
Common at marinas, lakes, and locations with significant tidal variation.
