The highway now curves to the east and begins winding its way along the southern shore of Southwest Arm, with the road passing through the communities of Queen's Cove, Long Beach, Hodge's Cove, Caplin Cove, Little Heart's Ease, and Butter Cove, where it has two intersections with a local road that loops through Gooseberry Cove.
