harborside

By the marina

Harborside describes the area adjacent to a harbor: a harborside restaurant, harborside condos.

As a noun, it refers to that waterfront zone itself: We walked along the harborside.

The word evokes maritime settings—docks, warehouses, seafood joints, and the general atmosphere of a working or recreational port.
