It was formerly an office and retail complex known as Knight's Point since 1998 and a festival marketplace known as The Shoppes at Harbour Island since 1985. It also includes a hotel known as Westin Tampa Waterside (formerly Wyndham Harbour Island).

Today, the island consists of mostly private residential areas, including high-rise condos, apartments, row houses, single-family homes and large houses, as well as a yacht club. The island has a Westin hotel, Jackson's Bistro Bar & Sushi restaurant which offers Sunday brunch, waterfront dining, and a Friday and Saturday nightclub. Located in the center of the island there are small shops, coffee shops, and the local hotspot Cafe Dufrain. The TECO Line Streetcar "in-town" trolley connects the island to downtown and Channelside. NEVs also connect the island to other core neighborhoods such as Hyde Park.
