Description from Daily Overview

21.321360, -89.663887

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.
