This pier was constructed to serve the flying boats that operated from RAF Woodhaven water aerodrome in the Firth of Tay. These included Singapores, Sunderlands, Catalinas and even a captured German Heinkel 115 seaplane which was used for a time to ferry agents from here into German-occupied Norway. Now Woodhaven pier is used by pleasure boats that take tourists up-river as far as Perth or down-river to look for seals, dolphins and whales in the North Sea.
