Spiral Island
Artificial island
About
Spiral Island was a floating artificial island built in Mexico by British artist Richart "Reishee" Sowa. It was destroyed by Hurricane Emily in 2005. A replacement, Joyxee Island, had been open for tours since 2008, but closed after it was damaged by storms and the local authority ordered its removal.
Spiral Island was featured in newspapers and TV documentaries around the world, including in Japan and South Korea, as well as an episode of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! TV series, and on the MTV program Extreme Cribs in 2011.
