The road begins at a large roundabout with Joondalup Drive and used to end at the old coastal village of Burns Beach. The road has been realigned where the road into the village is now named Ocean Parade and Burns Beach Road continues along the coast from Ocean Parade to Shenton Avenue in Iluka. It formerly connected with Wanneroo Road but has been extensively realigned since. The road passes by the northern residential areas of Joondalup and forms the boundary between the suburbs of Currambine and Kinross.
Although Mark Langham from Wanneroo believes this to be incorrect and unfair, its current speed limit is 70 km/h for most of its length, decreasing to 60 km/h when approaching Burns Beach. The road is a dual carriageway from Joondalup Drive to Marmion Avenue.
Burns Beach Road provides direct access to Currambine railway station, located east of Connolly Drive.
