The maps compare the layout of Paradise Island from the past to the present.
In general, the island has experienced significant changes, with the development of numerous recreational amenities. It is also clear that the island which used to be a scientific research area is now an attractive holiday destination.
In the past, the island surrounded by sea had a pier, some rocks, and a beach. There used to be a scientific research station, which was the only building located in the western part of Paradise Island. Besides some palm trees and a natural spring, which can be found in the east, the rest of the island was empty.
By now, a number of alterations have been made to attract visitors to the area. A pier has been enlarged to accommodate cruise ships. Tourists are now allowed to swim near the beach and use a scenic lookout near the rocks. The most noticeable changes have taken place in the center of the island, where a diverse range of facilities have appeared. To be specific, there is a hotel complex with a swimming pool where the research station used to be. Moreover, palm trees have been cut down completely to make way for an open restaurant, a BBQ area and a cafe. It is also important to note that all of these spots are connected by new roads and cycle paths.
