It is one of several routes which dead-end on the Atlantic coast at their southern ends.

The southern terminus of SR 130 is at Pemaquid Point in Bristol, at the intersection of Bristol Road and Pemaquid Loop Road.

The northern terminus is located at U.S. Route 1 Business (US 1 Bus.)

SR 130 begins at the intersection of Bristol Road (which carries the initial stretch of SR 130) and Pemaquid Loop Road, which allows one traveling southbound on SR 130 to loop around and head back northbound on the highway without having to turn around; however this loop is not actually designated as part of the route.

In the northwestern tip of town, SR 130 intersects SR 129, another "dead-end" route which runs to Christmas Cove at the tip of South Bristol.
