Route description
Route 364 begins on the coast of Hermitage Bay in Seal Cove, where the road continues west as a gravel road to the former townsites of Grole and Pass Island. It winds its way northeast along the coastline to enter Hermitage-Sandyville, where it passes through Dawson's Cove (Sandyville) before passing through Hermitage, where it has an intersection with Main Street, which provides access to ferries leading to Gaultois and McCallum.{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/ferry-contract-south-coast-newfoundland-la-poile-1.4981808|title=Isolated towns fear new ferry contract will be the same old boat|website=CBC News|date=Jan 17, 2019 |first=Bernice|last=Hillier|access-date=Oct 17, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/mccallum-votes-on-resettlement-it-s-a-dying-community-1.3095740|title=McCallum votes on resettlement: 'It's a dying community'|website=CBC News|date=Jun 1, 2015 |access-date=Oct 17, 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}} The highway travels northeast and farther inland through hilly terrain for several kilometres, where it has an intersection with a local road leading to Furby's Cove.
