In the northestern corner, a spacious farmland was underwent conversion into a modern hotel including a swimming pool and 2 tennis courts. Although to the northwest of Felixstone, there were a lot changes, the golf course still remained the same on the left of shops. More changes had taken place on thr other side of the main road. Specifically, the marina and pier were demolished, giving space for a public beach. Above the public beach was a coffee shop which located the same as it had been in 1967. While there was a drastic change taking place on the left of the café, the small hotel was changed to a hotel with wide space for car parking. In the southeastern corner, a private beach was built on the site where the fish market had been in 1967. While in the southwest, it was not much change except for the establishment of wind. turbines.
