Located along Florida’s “Forgotten Coast,” the World’s Smallest Police Station is a claustrophobic criminal’s worst nightmare—because it’s actually just a telephone booth. In 1963, Carrabelle had no actual police station, and its lone police officer had to respond to calls by telephone, so the phone company installed this booth to replace a phone mounted on the side of a building that offered no protection from the weather. Due to an influx of tourists sneaking into the “police station” to make long distance calls, the dial eventually had to be removed.
Since its installation, the World’s Smallest Police Station has withstood hurricanes, bullet holes, car crashes, and even an attempted theft. Yet, it stands proud and enjoys its legendary status to this day.
