Walk the long seafront promenade beside Aberdeen's sandy city beach, from Footdee in the south up towards the mouth of the River Don.

Why it's a good date: A flat, straight path and a big sky make it easy to walk and talk. Start or finish at Footdee, and wrap up: the wind off the North Sea bites even in summer.
