This large lighthouse-inspired building is known as the Lighthouse Club at Everglades Isle. The approximately 8,500-square-foot clubhouse contains resort gathering and activity spaces rather than a working lantern.
The structure was designed as the architectural centerpiece of the resort and marina. Its lighthouse form connects the property to the boating culture of Everglades City, but it was never built as a coastal navigation station.
The Lighthouse Club is part of a private resort. Access is intended for registered guests, residents, members, and invited visitors rather than general lighthouse touring.
The building remains the clubhouse for Everglades Isle, an operating adults-only motorcoach resort and marina. It is decorative and not an aid to navigation.
