South Shields is the traditional seaside town where come rain or shine, you'll be surprised, just how much there is to see and do...
The golden sands of Sandhaven and Littlehaven beaches are the perfect place for families, couples and water sports enthusiasts alike. Build sandcastles with the kids, have a plodge in the sea, take a romantic sunset walk, or ride the waves on a surfboard. Whatever your choice, a fun time is guaranteed!
A stone's throw from the beaches is a treasure trove of traditional seaside fun. Thrill seekers are well catered for at Ocean Beach Pleasure Park with rides to suit all ages and levels of bravery!
Sports fans and sea dogs alike can battle it out at the pirate themed Smugglers Cove adventure golf. Kids can go wild at the giant galleon shaped soft play area in Dunes Adventure Island, which also houses a bowling alley, bar and bistro. For those wanting to spend their time at a more relaxed pace, the seafront parks are a great place to while away a sunny afternoon.
During the summer South Shields seafront is the setting for an exciting range of free events. Enjoy live music in the amphitheatre, captivating parades, open air concerts, children's entertainment and brass bands - truly priceless fun.
Add to this an array of cafes, pubs and restaurants and you'll soon be wishing there were more hours in the day!
South Shields has everything you would expect of a seaside resort - and even more besides! Picture yourself in South Shields, the traditional seaside town.
