The two diagrams illustrate the transformation of Porth Harbour from the year 2000 to the present day.
Overall, the general layout of the harbour has remained consistent, retaining prominent features such as the road leading to the lighthouse. However, there have been significant changes in land use, particularly in the northern and eastern areas.
North of the main road, the harbour has undergone redevelopment. Former features like cranes and a boatyard have been replaced by sailing clubs, while a warehouse has been converted into residential apartments. Adjacent to these apartments and near the café, a new sailing club has been established, indicating a shift towards leisure-oriented development in this section.
Additionally, to the east of the main road, new commercial establishments such as cafés and shops have been constructed. Alongside these developments, a new footpath has been created, extending to the lighthouse. These changes highlight the harbour’s adaptation to accommodate more amenities for visitors and residents alike, reflecting a trend towards enhancing recreational and commercial facilities in Porth Harbour over the past two decades.
