public docks
Open marina berths
Public docks are waterfront structures—piers, wharves, or floating platforms—open to general use rather than privately owned.
Boaters can tie up temporarily without membership or fees, or for modest fees: We pulled in at the public docks to grab lunch.
Towns with waterfronts often maintain public docks for fishing, loading passengers, or short-term mooring.
