Tilting
An Irish-descended fishing village at the eastern tip of Fogo Island, with wooden fishing stages and traditional buildings that make it a Canadian National Historic Site.
Tilting was founded by Irish immigrants in the 18th century and still keeps its Irish accent and traditions. Wooden fishing stages built over the water, fish-drying racks, and wooden houses are scattered throughout the village, and the whole community is designated a Canadian National Historic Site. Visit the restored Dagle Family House, walk to Sandy Cove Beach and the headland trail, and look for the artists' studios nearby. It is about 30 minutes' drive from the Fogo Island ferry terminal.
