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).

“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
