==Route description==

Route 235 begins in [[Southern Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador|Southern Bay]] at an intersection with [[Newfoundland and Labrador Route 230|Route 230]] (Cabot Highway/Discovery Trail). It heads northeast along the coastline of [[Bonavista Bay]] to pass through [[Princeton, Newfoundland and Labrador|Princeton]], [[Summerville, Newfoundland and Labrador|Summerville]], [[Plate Cove West, Newfoundland and Labrador|Plate Cove West]], and [[Plate Cove East, Newfoundland and Labrador|Plate Cove East]]. The highway now heads more inland and eastward through rural areas, where it meets a local road leading to [[Open Hall, Newfoundland and Labrador|Open Hall]], [[Red Cliffe, Newfoundland and Labrador|Red Cliffe]], and [[Tickle Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador|Tickle Cove]]. Route 235 rejoins the coast at [[King's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador|King's Cove]], where it meets a local road leading to [[Duntara, Newfoundland and Labrador|Duntara]] and [[Keels, Newfoundland and Labrador|Keels]]. It winds its way eastward to pass through [[Stock Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador|Stock Cove]], where it has an intersection with [[Newfoundland and Labrador Route 236|Route 236]] (Stock Cove Road), [[Knight's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador|Knight's Cove]], [[Hodderville, Newfoundland and Labrador|Hodderville]], and [[Amherst Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador|Amherst Cove]], where it has an intersection with [[Newfoundland and Labrador Route 237|Route 237]] (Blackhead Bay Road). The highway now passes through [[Newman's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador|Newman's Cove]] and [[Birchy Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador|Birchy Cove]] before entering the [[Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador|Bonavista]] town limits along John Cabot Drive. It heads north through neighbourhoods before passing through downtown and by the town's harbour, where it has another intersection Route 230 (Confederation Drive). Route 235 becomes Cape Shore Road and passes through more neighbourhoods before leaving Bonavista and passing by [[Dungeon Provincial Park]]. The highway now heads through rural plains to the very tip of the Bonavista Peninsula at [[Cape Bonavista]], where Route 235 comes to a dead end at the [[Cape Bonavista Light|Cape Bonavista Lighthouse.]]
