Watch for bottlenose dolphins from the shingle spit by the lighthouse, where they come in close to feed.

Why it's a good date: Waiting on a beach together for dolphins to turn up is a lovely way to spend an hour. Check the tide first: they're most often seen on a rising tide, about an hour after low water.
