The Sand Dancers: A Treasure Hunt Adventure in South Shields

Step into the world of the Sand Dancers, a legendary trio of performers who once stole the show at the Arbeia Fort in South Shields. Their mesmerizing sand dancing captivated audiences, but their final performance held a secret-a treasure trove of gold coins that was never seen again.

Now, with the help of the Intrepid Explorers Society, you have the chance to follow in the footsteps of the Sand Dancers and uncover the location of their hidden treasure. But be warned-this adventure won't be easy. You'll need to decode clues, solve puzzles, and explore the town and promenade to discover the truth.

Treasure Hunt Through South Shields

Join the fun and family-friendly self-guided Treasure Hunt through the charming coastal town of South Shields. Begin your journey at the Haven Point Centre and follow the trail through dunes, beaches, parks, and historic sites as you uncover sneaky clues hidden on buildings, monuments, and permanent features.

Keep your eyes peeled for dramatic sea views and hidden gems as you make your way towards the final destination-the location of the Sand Dancers' treasure.

Are you ready to take on the challenge and become a true Sand Dancer?
