Locally known as PGA Boulevard, State Road 786 is an 8.7-mile-long east–west highway which is almost completely within the city limits of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The western terminus is an intersection with Bee Line Highway (SR 710) near North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport; the eastern terminus is an intersection with Federal Highway (US 1-SR 5) and SR A1A in unincorporated Palm Beach County just east of Palm Beach Gardens and north of North Palm Beach. East of US 1, PGA Boulevard becomes Ocean Boulevard and SR A1A, which continue along a barrier island of the Atlantic Ocean and pass through John D. MacArthur Beach State Park.

In the 1970s and most of the 1980s, SR 786 served as the temporary northern terminus of Interstate 95 (SR 9) in southeastern Florida (for part of the time, a stretch of Florida's Turnpike (SR 91) from SR 786 to SR 70 in Fort Pierce doubled as I-95). The 60-mile-long "gap" in the Interstate highway from Palm Beach Gardens to Vero Beach was "filled" in 1987.

Since then, PGA Boulevard has become an important commercial and commuter route due to the rapid population growth in northeastern Palm Beach County. West of the Turnpike are two major golf courses (including the PGA National Golf Resort and Spa, which lends PGA Boulevard its name); roughly one mile to the east of the Turnpike is The Gardens Mall, a regional shopping center.

Major junctions

The entire route is located in Palm Beach County.
