Like SR 295 and the nearby SR 296, SR 298, and SR 742, SR 727 is primarily a bypass route for Pensacola. Motorists traveling near the Gulf of Mexico shore west of Pensacola often use Fairfield Drive to avoid the downtown section and continue eastward via Interstate 110 (I-110; SR 8A) to I-10 (SR 8) and then crossing Escambia Bay on the Interstate highway.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Escambia County.
