Jorge Ortiz Palma's video: EL MUELLE MAS LARGO DEL MUNDO - THE LONGEST PIER IN THE WORLD MAVIC 2 ZOOM

The world’s longest pier extends 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) out into the ocean. The pier is the Progreso Pier located in the Mexican state of Yucatán. The pier juts out into the Gulf of Mexico and is known as a disembarkation pier, that is a pier built for ships to unload. Built across a wide and shallow continental shelf, Progreso Pier was extended from 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in 1985 in order to accommodate larger ships docking at this location. Progreso has become a popular cruise ship stop and in 2014, more than one hundred cruise ships and over 344,000 passengers arrived at Progreso. The older segment of the pier, which is closest to the shoreline, was built in 1942is built upon arches to allow sediment to pass underneath.
