Route description
Route 215 begins just west of Boat Harbour at an intersection with Route 210 and heads east to immediately pass through the community. It now becomes very curvy and winding as it travels along the coastline through some hills to pass through Brookside before turning inland through remote terrain for several kilometres. The highway now dips to the south to follow the coast again as it enters Petite Forte and passes by a dock for a ferry leading to South East Bight.{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/life-in-south-east-bight-gallery-1.4410246|title=Faces and Places: A peek inside the isolated outport of South East Bight|website=cbc.ca|publisher=CBC News|accessdate=October 2, 2020|date=November 25, 2017|first=Paula|last=Gale}}{{cite web |title=South East Bight – Petite Forte ferry schedule |url=https://www.gov.nl.ca/ti/ferryservices/schedules/p-southeas/ |website=Transportation and Infrastructure |publisher=Government of Newfoundland and Labrador |accessdate=2 October 2020}}{{cite web |title=N.L. ferries made 4,100 trips with no passengers last year | website=CBC | date=2020-05-15 | url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/ferry-newfoundland-no-passengers-cuts-1.5571881 | access-date=2020-12-17}} Route 215 passes through neighbourhoods before coming to an end shortly thereafter at the centre of town.
