Without any photos in front of me for absolute verification, I believe I recall something like the taller piling that you refer to at piers "down by the sea." To keep things from rolling off into the water might be one reason for the taller pilings, plus large water craft need something a little more substantial than a cast bronze clete screwed to the deck with brass screws ... know what I mean?
Plus, the taller pilings might add to the "nautical" feel. (Sumpter 250, where are you when we need you?!) 8-)

... you could put a couple sea gulls on top of a few of them and have small dabs of white paint on top and streaking down the sides!
