Beachfront Map Essay Task 1 || WWW.AMANIELTS.IN ||

The map details a 1950 Australian beachfront location and alterations in the present day. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that there has been an increase in leisure facilities and motor vehicle access to the beach. The beach itself is unchanged.

In 1950, the less developed area contained a road above the beach ending at a car park. Today, the road and car park still exist though both the size of the car park and the length of the road have been extended. The present road leads to a lighthouse (present in 1950 as well) and a newly erected surf club by the side of the beach. A small 25m pool remains in the general vicinity of the lighthouse.

Beneath the road in 1950, there was a playground, an area for dining tables and a pavilion, which are largely unchanged in the present day with the exception of the children’s playground being replaced by an additional car park. Closer to the beach, a 25m pool has been enlarged to 50 meters and there is currently a restaurant and another surf club to the left of the beach.
