The provided maps illustrate the transformation of Paradise Island from its past state to its present configuration.
Overall, the island has undergone significant improvement, with some new facilities and natural landscape altered to accommodate these changes.
In the past, Paradise Island featured several noticeable characteristics, including a beach, a boat pier, and a scientific research station located in the west. The central part of the island was dominated by trees, which provided a natural habitat for local flora and fauna. The southern part of the island was a beach, which was adjacent to the boat pier, while the northeast section contained a natural spring surrounded by rocky formations.
In contrast, the present-day layout of Paradise Island reflects some dramatical enhancements. The natural and some rocks remain intact, but there is a scenic viewpoint to the sea. The trees were replaced by an entertainment complex of a restaurant, BBQ area and a swimming pool. Furthermore, a hotel was erected and replaced the scientific research station. The boat pier was lengthened with some cruise ships replacing the boat. Swimming in the beach now is permitted so there is a cycle path around the island for visitors’ convenience.
