Tiverton
is located in the East Bay Region of Rhode Island, which is the eastern shore of Narragansett Bay. It's across the Sakonnet River from Aquidneck Island, which is also known as "the Island of Rhode Island." Along with the adjacent town of Little Compton, this area is disconnected from the rest of the state. The northern portion of Tiverton is located on Mount Hope Bay. Most of the town of Tiverton sits along a granite ridge that rises about 170 feet above the bay. A large section of exposed granite can be seen from the highway cut for Route 24, near the Main Road interchange. Tiverton is home to two beaches; Fogland Beach, which offers swimming, fishing, a wildlife area for hiking and walking. Grinnell's Beach is known for its' excellent windsurfing opportunities. It also offers fine views of the Sakonnet River and Portsmouth shoreline. Tiverton was settled in the late 1600s and has many historical buildings in town. The Tiverton Four Corners area was settled by British colonists as a farming community and contains many Colonial homes and stone walls. This area is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Other things to do in the Tiverton region includes biking, fishing, boating, sailing, golf, picnicking, antiquing and visiting the East Bay region's many fine museums.
