On behalf of the Town of Tilting, Welcome! Come and visit our Provincial Heritage District and National Historic Site of Canada. Come explore our traditional fishing community. Located on the North Eastern tip of Fogo Island in Central Newfoundland, we are teetering on the edge of the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. Delight in our rich culture, and rich Irish Heritage as you visit our museums, hike our beautiful trails or bask in the sun on our Sandy Beach. Outdoor scenery, indoor hospitality and a traditional townscape provide the perfect backdrop for a truly memorable visit!  We look forward to seeing you soon!

A Brief Introduction To Tilting:

A National Historic Site of Canada and Newfoundland's First Provincial Registered Heritage District, Tilting was first settled by the French in the late 1600's, however over time it became an exclusively Irish enclave beginning with the first settlers from Ireland in 1752.

The pristine waters of the North Atlantic form the backdrop to one of the few remaining Newfoundland outports to maintain their traditional structures relating to the inshore fishery, including stages, stores, gardens, and fencing.

Come visit Tilting, home to the oldest Irish Catholic cemetery in Newfoundland, historic museums, scenic trails, beautiful beaches, icebergs and an abundance of natural beauty. Tilting is steeped in rich heritage, folklore, and hospitality, and is sure to offer something for everyone!
