'''Navy Boulevard''' is a major thoroughfare connecting Pensacola to [[Warrington]] and [[NAS Pensacola]].

Navy Boulevard begins at [[Pace Boulevard]] within the [[City limits]]; east of Pace Boulevard the thoroughfare is known as [[Garden Street]]. From Pace, Navy Boulevard travels in a generally southwesterly direction until it meets [[New Warrington Road]], at which point Navy Boulevard takes a southerly course, terminating at the main gate of [[NAS Pensacola]].

Somewhat unusually, Navy Boulevard is divided into three directional sections: West Navy Boulevard, from Pace Boulevard west to New Warrington Road; North Navy Boulevard, from New Warrington Road south to [[Gulf Beach Highway]]/[[Barrancas Avenue]]; and South Navy Boulevard, from Gulf Beach Highway/Barrancas Avenue south to NAS Pensacola. South Navy Boulevard serves as the dividing line for several thoroughfares in the Warrington area, such as [[Sunset Avenue]].

==Name==
Before [[1950]], the road now known as '''Navy Boulevard''' was called '''Admiral Murray Boulevard''' in unincorporated [[Escambia County]] and '''[[Garden Street]]''' within the [[City of Pensacola|City]] limits. A May 1950 resolution by the Board of County Commissioners designated the County portion of the road as Navy Boulevard;<ref>''Resolution of Board of County Commissioners of Escambia County Effecting Change of Name of Highway Presently Known As "Admiral Murray Boulevard"''</ref> the City followed suit in June 1950, renaming the portion of Garden Street west of [[Barrancas Avenue]] as Navy Boulevard. This was later amended to west of [[Pace Boulevard]].<ref>Ordinance #24-50, City of Pensacola</ref>

==Highway carriage==
From its intersection with [[Highway 98]] northeast to Pace Boulevard, Navy carries [[US Highway 98]] and the concurrent [[Florida State Road 30]]; east of Pace Boulevard the two designations are carried by Garden Street. From its intersection with New Warrington Road south to NAS Pensacola, Navy carries [[Florida State Road 295]].
