No, a pier is not a jetty, as they possess entirely different architectural designs and engineering purposes. A pier is an elevated walkway or platform supported by open pilings or pillars running out over the water, meant for pedestrian strolling, fishing, and boat mooring. A jetty is a solid, stone or concrete wall-like structure built out into the water from the shoreline to alter currents, protect harbors, and prevent coastal erosion.
