An ocean view is one of the most beautiful on the planet, and the price of any real estate that offers such a perspective is valued accordingly across the globe. Combine that view with a striking piece of architecture built to function and interact with the water, and you have an even more spectacular sight.
Included in this article are photographs of notably beautiful piers all over the world, accompanied by a bit of information and/or history of each structure. Having spent vacation time at one of these piers, I can attest to the gorgeous views it provides. Check out the article and enjoy the photos. Perhaps it will add entries to your "travel to" list, as it has to mine.
