    Route description

    Route 232 begins in George's Brook at an intersection with Route 230A (Old Bonavista Highway) just north of downtown. 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. Route 232 passes straight through town, passing to the north of the harbour and having an intersection with a local road leading to Burnt Harbour (Brickyard) and Nut Cove. The highway comes to a dead end at the western edge of town at a cul-de-sac.
