Turpin's Trail
A coastal loop trail around Tilting that links beaches, headlands, fishing stages, and Squish Studio.
Turpin's Trail is one of Fogo Island's most popular hikes. Starting from Tilting, it follows the coast for about 9 km and can be walked as separate east and west sections. Along the way are Sandy Cove Beach, towering coastal cliffs, Squish Studio perched above the rocks, and broad tundra and wetlands. In early summer you can often see icebergs, seabirds, and whales. The route follows dirt paths and wooden boardwalks, with some sections steep and slippery. The trail is free and starts inside the village of Tilting, where it is signposted. Wear waterproof hiking boots and bring supplies.
