The Pier is located near the lake and is part of the visiting circuit that includes the gardens of Piazza Marconi in pure 20th-century style in the place where the ancient dock of the town of Meina once stood. The place is picturesque, especially in the evening and night hours, given the splendid panorama over the shores of Lake Maggiore, and the presence of numerous maritime pines that frame the landscape. It is a docking point for the boats of the Navigation of Lake Maggiore, allowing tourists to visit also by water.
