South Shields Holidays

South Shields at a Glance

Combining heritage, the coast and culture, South Shields is the perfect place for a short stay in South Tyneside. Located right by the coast, South Shields is a different and unique experience of the British seaside.

South Shields Highlights

• Culture vultures and their families will love the South Shields Art Gallery and Museum. Packed with classics and contemporary pieces, the building has been designed to be very family-friendly. The nearby coast is perfect for getting a breath of fresh air and the Ocean Beach Pleasure Park is vibrant, garish fun.
• South Shields is renowned across Tyneside for its markets. Bargain hunters are in for a treat as they rummage through stalls of second-hand finds, locally-grown produce and hand-made arts and crafts. The town centre offers all the usual high street suspects alongside a handful of local independents.
• It should be a law in Britain that anyone staying so close to the sea has to have at least one dinner of fish and chips. South Shields is no exception and the choice is second-to-none. For something a bit different, head to Ocean Road. A street that is famous, not like its name suggests, for its Indian restaurants.
• While it may not be as bustling as its neighbour Newcastle upon Tyne’s nightlife, there are plenty of ways to while away an evening in South Shields. The town centre has a great mix of bars and clubs to satisfy restless feet. Head to the seafront of South Shields for a more laid-back affair and to experience some of the town’s most chic establishments.
