The two maps depict how a coastal town has been reshaped from 1995 to the present day.
Overall, the area has expanded and pivoted decisively toward tourism. Recreational facilities, holiday accommodation and leisure boating now dominate, while the once‐prominent fishing industry and farmland have virtually disappeared.
In 1995, the north-east corner contained open farmland, and a sizable public park with mature trees occupied the town centre. Adjoining the park stood a modest, two-block hotel. To the north-west, a single row of houses sat beside several sports courts, while the western waterfront was lined by a fish market. Further south lay a coffee shop, and four fishing boats operated offshore.
Today, agriculture has given way to a golf course and adjacent tennis courts, signalling an upmarket shift. The former park has been cleared for a cluster of holiday homes, flanked on the eastern edge by a newly built car park. The fish market on the west coast has been replaced by a restaurant, and housing density in the north-west has increased, as the original row of dwellings has grown into a small estate. In the south-west, a new apartment block now neighbours the existing café. Out at sea, the fishing fleet has been supplanted by pleasure yachts, and the hotel itself has been enlarged to three blocks to cater for greater visitor demand.
