The image depicts two maps of Porth Harbour, one from the year 2000 and the other showing its current state. In 2000, the north side of the harbour features a car park, fish market, and fishing boats. Moving eastward, there is a marina office near the parking area and a public parking area adjacent to it. A road runs alongside the harbour, leading to a lifeboat station next to Castle and a passenger terminal located at the northeast edge near the dock. In the current map, the layout has been significantly altered; the car park has been converted into a car park & flats, the fish market into a fishing boats section, the marina office and public parking area remain, and showers & toilets have been added nearby. Further changes include the replacement of the passenger terminal with a cruise ship, while the road now leads to a large hotel in place of the lifeboat station. The current map also shows the inclusion of a café & shops near what used to be the Passenger terminal. The Castle remains unchanged in its position.

The two maps illustrate the changes that have taken place in Porth Harbour between 2000 and the present day.
Overall, the harbour has undergone significant redevelopment, with the addition of tourist facilities, while its core maritime functions have largely been preserved.
In 2000, the harbour was primarily functional, featuring two car parks located on the western side near showers and toilets. The central area contained a marina for private yachts, alongside fishing boats, passenger ferries, and a lifeboat station. To the east, there was a disused castle near the shoreline, and a public beach extended along the northern edge.
At present, the harbour has been enhanced to attract visitors. The disused castle has been replaced by a large hotel, which is connected by a newly constructed private access road branching from the main route. In addition, cafes and shops have been built near the lifeboat station, providing commercial services. New shower and toilet facilities have also been added close to the marina. However, the two car parks and the public beach have remained unchanged, and the marina, fishing docks, and ferry services continue to operate as before.
