Quaint Coastal Historic Laidback Pastoral

Taste the flavors of simpler times in a locally owned shop offering gourmet goods or admire fine art in a gallery. Purchase seasonal jams and meats from Sakonnet Farm Farmstand or artisanal cheese at Milk & Honey. Be sure to sign up for a walking tour of the Four Corners district to discover Tiverton’s rich history.
