The two maps illustrate the transformation of Port Harbor between the year 2000 and the present day. As we can see, some notable changes have been made to its infrastructure, indicating more remarkable modernization.
Overall, the harbor has undergone significant development, replacing certain outdated elements with new amenities. The fishing and docking facilities have remained constant, but cafes, shops, and a hotel have been included, which has marked an evolution into increased tourism and commercial activities.
In 2000, Port Harbor had basic shapes, with fishing boats occupying the central area and a dock accommodating passenger ferries. The marina for private yachts and car parking areas were located on the western side next to the main road, along with showers and toilets. To the east side, there was a disused castle and a public beach. On the other hand, the southern side was served by a narrow road connecting key areas with the lifeboat port.
Today, the harbor has been upgraded with several modern features. Cafes and shops have been constructed near the lifeboat port, and a hotel has replaced the castle to cater to tourists. Additionally, the marina and fishing boats remain unchanged, and another car park, showers, and toilets have been introduced to enhance accessibility. These developments reflect the harbor’s shift towards becoming a commercial and leisure hub.
