Fishing boats still work the Fish Quay here, giving the Tyne & Wear waterfront a working-harbour feel that draws travellers as much as any polished attraction. North Shields balances that maritime grit with a genuinely strong food scene: browse cafes for a slow coffee overlooking the river, or settle into one of the town's restaurants for freshly landed seafood.
