State Road 814, locally known as Atlantic Boulevard is a major commercial and commuter highway in northern Broward County, Florida. The 7.1-mile-long (11.4 km) divided highway extends from US 441 in Margate to State Road A1A in Pompano Beach. It serves as the latitudinal baseline for the street grid for the city of Pompano Beach.
Atlantic Boulevard begins its eastward journey from the Sawgrass Expressway in Coral Springs. The road meanders through residential zones before it arrives at its intersection with University Drive, where the Coral Square Mall is located. Afterward, SR 816 borders the former CDP of Ramblewood East. Ramblewood Middle School is located there, 1 mile (1.6 km) from the SR 817 intersection. The road continues eastward, passing by apartment buildings and a golf course before its intersection with US 441 (SR 7) in Margate.
SR 814 begins at US 441, and has an intersection with another local road—Lyons Road—1.2 miles (1.9 km) later, soon after followed by an interchange with Florida's Turnpike south. Drivers who wish to take Florida's Turnpike north are directed to the extension of Atlantic Boulevard. After the interchange with the Turnpike, SR 814 enters Pompano Beach, where the road becomes the latitudinal baseline for the city's street grid. Soon after, SR 814 intersects Andrews Avenue (which has the hidden designation of County Road 811A) and Interstate 95, followed by Dixie Highway. The intersection with Dixie Highway is the center of Pompano Beach's street grid.
