Coca-Cola Bottle

Behind a Coca-Cola collectibles shop in downtown Fort Walton Beach stands a 15-foot fiberglass bottle that visitors are invited to pose beside. The Buccaneer Gift Shop, at 152 Miracle Strip Parkway SE, is described by the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce as a 40-year local tradition specializing in vintage and reproduction Coca-Cola collectibles, alongside Betty Boop, Nascar and other souvenirs. A visitor tip posted to Roadside America in April 2026 reports finding the bottle in place.

According to Roadside America, the bottle is in the shop's back yard, just east of Highway 85, on a special platform. A note posted on Roadside America in 2009 in the shop's own voice says the giant fiberglass bottle was restored to mark the shop's 35th anniversary, when Coca-Cola also made a limited-edition 8-ounce commemorative bottle for the store, and that the platform brings the overall height to about 20 feet. Roadside Architecture dates the restoration to 2007.
