A road goes around the island along its coastline.

CalifJimNo. I would imagine the speaker was describing a loop in either case.Just '(roads) all around (the island)' instead of 'all the way around' would conjure up the idea that the roads were everywhere and would suppress the idea of a loop.

Thank you. Is the following version correct?

There is a road going around the island along its coastline.
