It heads east to pass through town before leaving and winding its along the southern coast for several kilometres. The highway now passes through Seldom-Little Seldom, where it turns due north, and heads inland for several kilometres to pass by the Fogo Aerodrome, where it has an intersection with Island Harbour Road, which provides access to Island Harbour and Deep Bay. Route 333 heads north to pass through Fogo Island Central, where it has an intersection with Route 334 (Joe Batt's Arm Road).
