🌅 Breathtaking Beach Walks

Start your romantic retreat with a peaceful stroll along the beautiful Sandhaven Beach. With soft golden sand and a long promenade, it’s perfect for hand-in-hand walks, especially at sunrise or sunset.

For something a little more dramatic, explore Marsden Bay. Walk the cliffs above, then take the path down to the beach and marvel at the iconic Marsden Rock. It’s the kind of spot that feels like your own hidden escape — perfect for a quiet moment together.

🍷 Dine Out in Style

No romantic trip is complete without a memorable meal. South Shields is full of independent gems ideal for date night:

 • Colmans Seafood Temple – Set in a unique glass-fronted building with sea views, this is the go-to for fine seafood and a relaxed, stylish atmosphere.

 • Zeera – A contemporary Indian restaurant on Ocean Road, perfect for flavour-packed dishes in a more intimate setting.

 • The Clifton Café – For cozy brunches or a slower start to your morning together.

Looking for something casual and scenic? Grab takeaway fish and chips, find a bench by the water, and enjoy the view — sometimes the simplest moments are the most romantic.

🌿 Scenic Spots & Shared Adventures

Take a walk along The Leas, a clifftop path with endless views of the North Sea. Bring a blanket and a hot drink for a quiet rest together along the way. Or head to South Marine Park for a boat ride on the lake or a gentle wander under the trees.

Want something a little more unique? Explore the Souter Lighthouse, climb to the top together, and take in sweeping views that stretch for miles — a perfect photo opportunity to remember your trip.
