Suffolk County Route 63 is a two-lane county highway that leads south from downtown Riverhead, connecting to CR 51 as it makes it way southwest toward Long Island's South Shore. The road is actually a former portion of CR 51, and the designation was given to this section when CR 51 was shifted to the newly-built Center Drive South.

Route description

Though it is only a two-lane road, County Route 63 has a posted 55-mile-per-hour (89 km/h) speed limit for a majority of its length. The road heads northeast, roughly continuing the track CR 51 while that road curves north onto Center Drive South. It passes the shores of Wildwood Lake and provides access to streets leading to homes along the north and east side of the lake.

The road ends only about a mile and a half from where it started at a traffic circle, which forms the gateway into downtown Riverhead. Here, it links with County Routes 104 and 94, and NYS Route 24, and indirectly to NYS Route 25 via Peconic Avenue.
