"...a structure that usually has to do with boats and water in some way, the specific seems to differ all over the world. So I wouldn't recommend using this at the moment. It's used 200 times in OSM in 2009, lets see how that changes." --User:Emj

Caution: This tag has not been approved and is not rendered on the main map views. The much more commonly used tag is man_made=pier which can be used for anything from a very small landing stages (including floating walkways) up to large structured with amusement arcades etc. Also.. jetty has two different meanings, one for what is tagged in OSM as a 'pier' and another for a man_made=groyne.
