Top 5 reasons to visit South Shields

[@jennytalia226]

I live in North Tyneside and i am ashamed at the state of the coast here. North Tyneside council should take a ferryboat ride across the Tyne to see how it should be done , well done South Tyneside , it's always a pleasure to visit South Shields.

[@TynesideLife]

I’ll be checking out Tynemouth soon 👍🏻

[@tas9551]

Thanks to this video we've decided to stay in South Shields this year on my visit back home. We live in.Valencia, Spain and are looking forward to some cool even rainy weather this week and next I the North. Your channels is great and I'm discovering all sorts about the area. Muchisimas gracias

[@TynesideLife]

My pleasure Ann. Enjoy. SS is a great beach!

You make South Shields seem a wonderful place. When we went it was a very different story. It was snowing horizontally, it was so cold, despite this I saw a man in shorts and trainers walking through the snow, my fingers/toes were frozen. There was hardly anyone about so we retreated to a pub. The people there were friendly, we were a novelty, Londoners. Loved the North, Newcastle, Whitley Bay. Will go back to South Shields on your recommendation, though not in the autumn PS we as asked for Pan Hagerty and Singin Hinnies but few knew what we were talking about. Keep up the good work. A softy southerner

You’re describing the weather, not the town 😃 Glad you enjoyed the visit and the video Dave. You should definitely visit when it’s hot and sunny. The beach is amazing! All the best 👍🏻

I live in the Netherlands but half my family lives in South Shields, it’s my favorite place to go

[@TynesideLife]

Ahh great message Teddy and glad you like it 👍🏻

Brilliant video… love where we live.. very blessed with our coastline. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you David 🙏🏻

[@stefanvo7112]

It's really a hidden gem 💎,I love these nostalgic places 💖, I hope to get there one day.

[@mr.miller5041]

Couldn't agree more. I'm from next door in Jarrow and I'm very familiar with the whole beach area, having spent a lot of time down there as a youngster. I moved away years ago, but was home visiting family a couple of years back, and was just astounded how amazing Shields beach is. It was a beautiful sunny day and the sand was so yellow, the sea so blue. I truly was blown away. So nice to see it being given the credit it deserves on video and on YT. Thank you.

[@TynesideLife]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it. It’s a fab beach!

[@hunkhk]

Thanks Eddie another amazing video. Brings back memories of me as a nipper visiting my grandparents back in the 70s. A trip to Minchellas for a knickerbocker glory or to the Marsden Grotto for a glass of pop and a back of crisps where two memorable highlights. Cheers mate and keep the videos coming!

[@TynesideLife]

Great memories Greg 👍🏻

Looking forward to visiting after this year's great north run.only been to thd North East once but loved it

[@user-vi7xr2ey1y]

Best place on earth. To. Have a holiday😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@phillwilkinson8319]

My hometown I'm about a 15mjn walk from where you were.. you take it for granted a little when you've had that all your life, nice to see through someone else's eyes. I would love to see some history on the grotto.. I'd imagine it'll be quite dark.. in my lifetime alone (41) I've known many people who have took their lives at that spot and a few killed.. I've heard it has an interesting story behind it

[@TynesideLife]

I love the place! I might look into doing a separate video 👍🏻

[@chilibean215]

Yeah, nice clip. Can't wait to visit South Shields next month. :-)

[@TynesideLife]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@amandawinstanley9221]

Totally agree South Shields beach and walks are stunning!

[@qiangli3020]

I have studied for a year in Newcastle University from Sept 2020 to Sept 28th 2021, and even I have left Newcastle back to China in Nov 2021, I miss the view of South Shelds and the Tyne side area, and I am looking forward to going back to South Shelds for a trip in the future!

[@TynesideLife]

Thank you for the message Qiang. Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you can get back to see more of the area 😊

Love Tyneside-The Quayside, The Derwent Walk, but feel very fortunate, that this beach is a five minute walk down the bank from my front door.

One of my favourite walks is along the cliffs. It’s really impressive along the front now too with all the activities on offer and food venues. Coleman’s restaurant is the finishing touch.

[@TynesideLife]

It’s like a mini Cornwall. Don’t think I’ve been to Coleman’s. I’ll have to try it
