The pier, known as the dock prior to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, is a structure located at the beach in the Animal Crossing series.
Appearances
In Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+
In Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+, the dock is located in Acre F-5. In Doubutsu no Mori+ and Animal Crossing it is initially empty, but Kapp'n will appear at the dock in his boat when a Game Boy Advance is connected to the Nintendo GameCube. In Doubutsu no Mori e+, he appears from the beginning of the game, but cannot take the player to the island until they have fully paid off their home loan.
In New Leaf
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, two days after paying off the 39,800 Bell mortgage to Tom Nook, the player can access Tortimer Island by meeting Kapp'n at the town's dock, similar to Animal Crossing. Unlike the previous title, Kapp'n can transport up to four players from the dock at once, and he charges 1,000 Bells for the service. There is also a basket on the dock that allows the player to retrieve up to 40 items they have collected on the island.

In New Horizons
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the pier appears on the west or east beach of the island, and may be generated with a short or long length. Four fish—the blue marlin, giant trevally, mahi-mahi, and tuna—can only appear around the pier. These fish can also appear around the small dock present on Mystery Tour islands. The pier can be freely decorated with items and designs, except on the steps connecting the pier to the beach.
Beginning in version 2.0, once the player reaches a 3-star rating, Kapp'n will appear at the pier in his boat, and the player can speak to him to go on a boat tour for 
1,000 Nook Miles. Until 3.0, the player could only go on one boat tour a day.
The pier is greatly expanded in version 3.0 to accommodate the addition of the hotel, which is situated in the middle. Small lights are added along the edges to illuminate the pier at night. A drop box is added where the player can submit DIY goods that have been requested for Kapp'n to deliver offshore. Kapp'n's boat is also moved further along the pier, to the very end of the new extension. After completing the first VIP room, Kapp'n offers a second boat tour for 
100 Hotel Tickets.
