Spanish River Boulevard is a short east–west highway in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida. The eastern 0.5 miles (0.80 km) is signed as State Road 800 (SR 800), though the western segment was formerly SR 800 as well. The western terminus of the boulevard is at Military Trail (CR 809), but the state route does not begin until Federal Highway {US 1). Both the state route and the road itself terminate at Ocean Boulevard (SR A1A) near the Atlantic Ocean shoreline at the northeastern corner of Spanish River Park, near Highland Beach.
Spanish River Boulevard provides the only access to SR A1A and the Boca Raton beaches in northern Boca Raton. It is one of only three beach access roads within the Boca Raton city limits, the other two being Palmetto Park Road (CR 798) and Camino Real.
SR 800 is the only state highway in the x00 series serving strictly as a short, local street; all other x00 routes are major cross-state diagonals.
The western terminus of Spanish River Boulevard is at its intersection with Military Trail (CR 809), in the Lynn University area of Boca Raton, Florida. The route progresses eastward as a four-lane boulevard through several governmental, commercial and residential developments. The highway narrows briefly to three lanes (two westbound and one eastbound) as it crosses over Interstate 95 and the Tri-Rail tracks.
