"Tilting Sunset"

            Step back in time in one of rural Newfoundland and Labrador’s most preserved fishing communities. Tilting, Newfoundland and Labrador’s first Provincial Heritage District, was also designated a National Historic District in 2005 as its rich Irish culture is still alive and evident today in its resident’s strong accents and remote outfield gardens.
            Longliners and punts can still be seen sailing out the harbour in the early morning light and returning under the shadow of dusk to their fishing stages and stores which have withstood the ravenous Atlantic Ocean’s swell for generations.
            Take a look through a window into the past by visiting the Lane House Museum and the Dwyer Premises. These museums are filled with artifacts from the lives of fishermen’s families from the 1700’s and on.
            With the sunshine sparking on the cold Atlantic Ocean, the rhythmic sound of the waves crashing along the coast and the smell of the sea salt in the air, Tilting will leave you smiling. Views of icebergs and whales can be seen along the beautiful Newfoundland and Labrador coastline while walking Turpin’s Trail and strolling the gardens of Oliver’s Cove. Make sure you don’t miss out on Tilting’s magnificent Sandy Cove Beach, Keefe’s Stage, the Old Irish Cemetery and Reardon’s Island on your excursion to one of Newfoundland’s most preserved Irish settlements.
