In North Carolina, the owner of an ingress-egress easement does not typically have the legal right to build a pier on the servient owner's waterfront property without their permission.

Any construction on the servient owner's property would likely require their consent or a separate agreement.
May children play on an easement without violating the terms of the easement?
It really depends on the nature of the easement. And the nature of the easement depends on the terms of the easement. Appart from state law which generally defines an easement, the terms of the individual easement usually limit the usage of the easement property...or rather subject the holder of the rest of the property and what is left after the use of the easement to what can and cannot be done on/with/to the land/sky/land beneath the easement. (It is convenient to see an easement as an area with clear boundries, most of the time; however, easements are really rights to use the area a certain way in opposition to the holder of all the other rights to do with it as he pleases.) You really have to know the terms of the easement.
