Route Description
State Road 804's western terminus is in unincorporated Boynton Beach at the intersection of US 441/SR 7, just north of the eastern boundary of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and the historic northern boundary of The Everglades. West of US 441, Boynton Beach Boulevard continues westbound for 1/2 mile without a state road designation through several farms before terminating at a dead end. State Road 804 then heads east away from US 441 through local farms, with newer developments east of Lyons Road. Due to a difference in design on Boynton Beach Boulevard, The speed limit is 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) going westbound and 30 mph (48 km/h) going eastbound. Two miles east of the western terminus, SR 804 has an interchange with Florida's Turnpike. East of the turnpike, Boynton Beach Boulevard enters into some residential areas, intersecting Jog Road, followed by Military Trail, where soon afterwards, it has access to the Quail Ridge Country Club to the south. East of Knuth Road, Boynton Beach Boulevard enters incorporated Boynton Beach and becomes more commercial, with the Boynton Beach Mall a few blocks to the north, and SR 804 intersecting with Congress Avenue. It continues east, heading for an interchange with Interstate 95, entering downtown Boynton Beach east of the interchange, with the road ceasing to be a divivied road east of NW 4th Street. The road next intersects Seacrest Boulevard, the baseline road that divides the city's east and west address, and continues east towards US 1. At the intersection with US 1, State Road 804 leaves Boynton Beach Boulevard proper for US 1 (Federal Highway), where it continues south for two blocks. State Road 804 then turns left (east) and follows Ocean Avenue in downtown Boynton Beach, along portions of the Ocean Avenue Historic District, with the other part of the district west of US 1. The road also has access to the revitalized Boynton Harbour Marina to the north before crossing a drawbridge over the Intracoastal Waterway to the eastern terminus at SR A1A (North Ocean Boulevard) (which is just outside of the city limits), just south of Boynton Beach's Oceanfront Park and Boynton Beach's government offices.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
