Beach Boulevard, designated the unsigned State Road 212, is a state highway that carries U.S. Highway 90 from South Jacksonville, Florida, United States east to Jacksonville Beach via a bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. Prior to the 1945 renumbering, it was State Road 376, added to the state road system by the Florida Legislature in 1937. The road was built on the right-of-way of the Florida East Coast Railway Mayport Branch (Jacksonville and Atlantic Railroad), and dedicated December 17, 1949, along with the B.B. McCormick Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. Construction began before World War II but was suspended between fall 1941 and 1945. It was built to relieve traffic on the parallel Atlantic Boulevard (pre-1945 State Road 140, now State Road 10).
