Depending on the exact context of your sentence, several accurate synonyms can substitute for "dock" or "pier." Common alternative words include wharf, jetty, landing, quay, slip, pontoon, marina, float, and boardwalk. While subtle engineering differences separate a wharf (parallel to shore) from a pier (perpendicular to shore), these terms are frequently swapped in casual conversation to describe waterfront boat-mooring facilities.
