The Harbor Cove lighthouse is an ornamental tower used as a recognizable feature of the apartment community. Its coastal styling stands out in an inland Gainesville setting.
The structure was created as part of the Harbor Cove residential development, not as a working light. It has served as a roadside identity marker for the community and has been repainted over time.
The lighthouse is on private apartment property and is not open for touring. It can be seen from nearby public roads and from Interstate 75.
The structure remains a decorative feature of the operating Harbor Cove Apartments community. It is not an aid to navigation.
