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

Navy Boulevard begins at Pace Boulevard within the Pensacola 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.

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.
