has experienced significant redevelopment to increase its facilities and visitor capacity—including various tourist amenities, and the relocation of a few key areas. In 2000, the

marina

for private yachts was situated in the northwest, with the showers and toilets adjacent to it in the west,

along with

a

car

park—thereby easing

car

access from the main road. The fishing boat area was to the south of the

marina

with another

car

park to its west.

Moreover

, two docks for passenger ferries were centrally located, with the lifeboat area placed directly opposite the docks, and an abandoned castle standing in the southeast corner, near a public beach. Since

then

, several notable changes have occurred. The

marina

and fishing boat area have now swapped locations, with the

marina

settling in the southwest. An extra dock for passenger ferries has been built, increasing the total to three.

Also

, the disused castle has been renovated and repurposed as a hotel, and the public beach has been converted into a private one for the hotel guests. Near the lifeboat station, new cafés and shops have been added, and a second set of showers and toilets is currently beside the existing

car

park, serving the new

marina

.

Although

the main road layout remains as it used to be, the access road to the hotel has been adjusted to provide a more direct route.
