Florida State Road 806
State Road 806, locally known as Atlantic Avenue, is the primary east–west highway of Delray Beach in Palm Beach County, Florida. Not to be confused with Atlantic Boulevard (SR 814) 15 miles to the south, Atlantic Avenue extends from US 441-SR 7 eastward to Ocean Boulevard (SR A1A) just north of Highland Beach. East of Military Trail, SR 806 is in Delray Beach; to the west of Military Trail, the road stretches through unincorporated Palm Beach County, starting with Country Club Acres.
Along with Swinton Avenue (one-half mile west of the one-way pair forming US 1-SR 5), Atlantic Avenue forms the north-south dividing line for Delray Beach addresses. While SR 806 is a commercial and commuter road, several golf courses have access from Atlantic Avenue between Florida's Turnpike (SR 91) and Interstate 95 (SR 9).
