The maps depict the transformation of Paradise Island from past to present.
Overall, it is apparent that the island has undergone substantial shifts, cutting out some natural beauty and providing more spaces for recreational purposes.
The island used to have a small pier situated on the westernmost side, which could only accommodate small boats. This was later expanded to welcome large cruise ships nowadays. The northwestern beach, which used to be tourist-free, has been prohibited for swimming.
In the heart of the island, the palm trees were chopped down to pave the way for the construction of recreational infrastructures, namely an open restaurant, a BBQ area, and a cycle path, which are located in the northern and southern regions, respectively. The scientific research station was replaced by a hotel complex with an adjacent swimming pool. Amid these areas, there is a roundabout facing almost all infrastructures. Finally, a scenic lookout was constructed on the northeastern rocks site, while the natural spring remained, and a café was operated south of it.
