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).

Famous quotes containing the words florida, state and/or road:
“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
“Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party. The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the state of victimization. When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, “they” don’t want me, “they” accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, “they” don’t deserve me.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“I wonder how far down the road he’s got.
He’s watching from the woods as like as not.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
