Once in the CBD, the highway turns right and proceeds in an easterly direction until it crosses the Orowaiti River.

Beyond Hector, the road acts as a frontier between the coastline and the adjoining hills until it reaches Waimarie and Summerlea, where it swings inland towards Mokihinui and its turn-off to Seddonville.

It is 8.9 km long and connects Westport with the settlements of Carters Beach and Cape Foulwind, as well as the site of the former Holcim cement plant which closed in 2016.

[1] In 2020, Waka Kotahi was allocated $2.5 million in funding to re-inforce State Highway 67 in the section between Granity and Ngakawau, as part of the New Zealand Upgrade Programme.

The funding is to allow strengthening works on bridge abutments as part of improving the resilience of the highway.
