Could be a groundy path go over in a bridge=boardwalk, change material, change 
fixation to a pier, a pier could also be floating.

There is no part of a pier on land.  Not according to the wiki: "A pier is a 
raised
walkway over water..." and "Lastly, connect the pier with other ways on land,
otherwise it will result in a "island" that can't be used for routing."  The 
wiki
then goes on to give a misleading or contradictory mention to connecting
to the last node of the pier on land.

Since your pier connects to a footpath, replace the bit of the pier on land
with a closed way tagged area=yes + highway=pedestrian, or similar
(I don't know if area=yes + highway=footway works).  Just because
the surface the person walks on is continuous doesn't make the bit
that's on land a pier.
