Tickles, nestled within the rugged embrace of St. Mary’s-The Capes, is a place where the land surrenders its secrets to the sea. It lies 28.3 km east-south-east of Placentia, NL (from Placentia, NL: bearing 117°T), and is situated 7.3 km west of Mount Carmel. Jagged cliffs, carved by millennia of wind and wave, plunge into the restless Atlantic, their grey faces softened by patches of resilient sea thrift and hardy grasses that cling to the precipice. Below, a small collection of brightly painted houses huddles against the elements, their rooftops a cheerful defiance against the often-brooding sky. The air here carries the sharp tang of salt and the distant cry of gulls, a constant reminder of the ocean's omnipresence. Even on the calmest days, a subtle tremor seems to run through the earth, a deep resonance of the powerful forces that shaped this dramatic coastline, where the horizon stretches in an unbroken line of restless blue. The history of Tickles is as weathered and persistent as its landscape, shaped by generations who have eked a living from its unforgiving bounty. For centuries, fishing has been the lifeblood of this isolated settlement, its small harbour a constant hub of activity as boats set out for cod, caplin, and lobster, their catches often drying on racks along the shore, a testament to the enduring spirit of self-sufficiency. This enduring connection to the sea has fostered a close-knit community, where neighbours share in both the triumphs of a good haul and the quiet resilience needed to weather leaner times. The very rhythm of life in Tickles is dictated by the tides and the seasons, a slow, steady pulse that beats in time with the ancient, ever-present sea.
