C233 is a minor rural route on Tasmania's north western coast, linking Bass Highway (A2) with Rocky Cape National Park and the tiny village of Sisters Beach. The route is fully sealed, however the alignment is tortuous as it winds its way through the national park.

As a 'spur' route, heading to a dead end, there is only one junction with another numbered route - C232 at Port Road. The single right-pointing fingerboard at this junction is the only mention of C233, making the route a one-hit wonder.
