Route description[]

Route 212 begins southeast of St. Bernard's-Jacques Fontaine at an intersection with Route 210 and heads northwest through wooded and hilly terrain for several kilometres to pass through the Jacques Fontaine portion of town. It now winds its way northeast along the coastline to pass through Bay L'Argent, where one can access a Ferry to Rencontre East, and Little Bay East. The highway now becomes very curvy and winding as it heads through hilly terrain for the next several kilometres to pass through Little Harbour East. Route 212 now enters Harbour Mille comes to an end shortly thereafter in the centre of town.[1]
