State Road 800 (SR 800), locally known as Spanish River Boulevard or Northeast 40th Street is a short east–west highway in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida. Its western terminus was formerly at an intersection with County Road 809, locally known as Military Trail. Today, the road's western terminus is at an intersection with US 1 (unsigned SR 5), and the road's eastern terminus is an intersection with Ocean Boulevard (SR A1A) near the Atlantic Ocean shoreline at the northeastern corner of Spanish River Park, near Highland Beach.
SR 800 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 (the north–south dividing line in Boca Raton, formerly SR 798) and El Camino Real to the south.
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.
