Saint-Tite-des-Caps (pronounced as /fr/) is a municipality in La Côte-de-Beaupré Regional County Municipality in Quebec, Canada. Located on Route 138 to Baie-Saint-Paul, this road climbs up sharply to about 700m (2,300feet) to reach the town nestled in a valley. The Sainte-Anne-du-Nord River forms the municipal western boundary.
The place is named after Titus, companion of Saint Paul, whereas "des-Caps" indicates its position within the Capes Region, that stretches from Cape Tourmente to Baie-Saint-Paul.[3]
