The Grandy Brook flows south to the south coast of Newfoundland. Route 480 crosses Grandy Brook at river kilometer 44 and later runs parallel to the river at a distance of about 5 km further east. For the last two kilometers, Grandy Brook turns west, before finally flowing into the Atlantic Ocean 7 km west of the municipality of Burgeo . The Top Pond Brook forms a larger tributary from the left.
