Ahoy,
In Port Brique, the sea wall is 12-13 bricks high, with the dock located
about half way up at 6 bricks high. The streets are created with 8x16 (or
bigger) bricks located on top of the sea wall. The visible parts are red
outlined in white, the hidden parts in blue. Extra supports (also in blue)
help hold up the streets. The best pics of the construction are:

I've built three modules, 2 are 70x16, the other a bit larger. They eat
bricks! (Hint: lots of 3033's!)
So far the whole town is constructed at 12 bricks or higher elevation,
although there are plans to develop a swampy hinterland at sea level.
(Psst... Anyone want to buy some prime development land?)
It does look good to have the streets higher than the dock, but a sea wall
of 12 bricks is probably a bit over the top. Frank's approach of ramping the
docks down to a street level is definitely the cleverest.
