Kids’ days will be filled with laughter and smiles with a stay in the fun filled seaside town of South Shields. Enjoy lazy days upon golden, unspoilt, sandy beaches as little ones live the dream exploring rock pools, building sandcastles and paddling in the sea, before devouring a delicious ice cream. If the weather’s on the cooler side, there’s a huge range of exciting indoor activities too which your little ones are sure to approve of.
A visit to the seaside isn’t complete without an ice cream. Minchella’s is a popular favourite in the region serving up delicious award winning ice cream and a mouth-watering range of flavours. Enjoy an extravagant sundae in the parlour or opt for a take out with a stacked cone or tub to be demolished whilst exploring the stunning South Shields coastline.
