[1] The eastern terminus is at the community of Burgoyne's Cove,[2] where the road reaches a cul-de-sac.

It heads east through neighbourhoods to cross over a river and leave town to pass through rural areas.

The highway now begins winding its way southeast along the coastline as it passes through the communities of Barton and Harcourt.

Route 232 turns northeast as it passes through Gin Cove, Monroe, and Waterville before heading more inland and due eastward through hilly terrain for several kilometres.

The highway rejoins the coastline as it heads south through Clifton before making a sharp curve to the east to enter Burgoyne's Cove.
