How long is the pier?
Something to Consider
Description from Daily Overview

The pier in Progreso, Mexico is the longest in the world, stretching into the Gulf of Mexico. Because the town’s shore sits on a limestone shelf that drops off gradually as it gets further into the Gulf, the pier requires this vast length to allow cruise ships to dock here.
