State Road 189 (SR 189) is a north–south highway in the panhandle of Florida. It leads from U.S. Route 98 in downtown Fort Walton Beach to just east of State Road 85 at the Eglin AFB West Gate where its southern section terminates. The northern section begins at an intersection with State Road 4 in Baker, Florida north to the Alabama / Florida state line where Alabama State Route 137 begins upon crossing the Alabama state line.

The common name for the southern portion of the highway is Beal Parkway from its origin at U.S. Route 98 to its intersection with Green Acres Road. At that junction the road becomes Lewis Turner Boulevard to its termination at the Eglin AFB gate.

Both segments were once connected through Eglin AFB.State Road Department memorandum, September 22, 1947:

Extension of State Road No. 189 State Road No. 189 (one hundred and eighty-nine) is being extended and the full description of location is now as follows: Beginning at a point on SR 30 at Fort Walton and run Northerly to SR 10 at Holt; thence common with SR 10 to Galliver; thence Northerly via Baker to the Alabama State line; all in Walton [sic] County.

Future

Part of SR 189 will be resurfaced in 2012.

The Five Mile Bayou bridge is labeled as structurally deficient. There are plans to replace the bridge starting in 2014 with two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction.
