The plans show Porth Harbor 24 years ago and now.
Overall, the harbor has become more commercial, with additional business establishments and public facilities.
The disused castle on the southeast side of the harbor has been replaced by a hotel, and the public beach there has been converted into a private one for hotel guests. Northwest of the hotel, new cafés and shops have been added along the shore, while the lifeboat station remains as it was 24 years ago. All these facilities are connected to the main road west of the harbor by two side roads.
On the west side of the harbor, the fishing boats and the marina for private yachts have switched locations. Meanwhile, although the two car parks and the area for showers and toilets have remained where they were in 2000, additional showers and toilets have been installed next to the marina’s new location. Each car park is now linked to the main road by its own feeder road.
On the northeast side of the harbor, while the public beach has remained unchanged, a new dock has been constructed to accommodate more passenger ferries. (189 Words)
