Generate a brief description of a beach scene with a pier and pilings.

Gravel and colorful chunks of split rock dumped beneath the pier interrupt the sandy beach's east-west course. The pier above stretches a large ship's length into the ocean, ending where the water is deep enough to dock a vessel larger than an island skiff. A slippery coating of salt moss clings to the pilings and hangs from cross-braces overhead.
