Walk through the pine forest at Tentsmuir to a huge, empty beach backed by dunes, and look out for seals hauled out on the sandbanks.

Why it's a good date: Wilder and quieter than West Sands, with miles of sand to yourselves. Bring binoculars for the seals, keep your distance from them, and take a picnic for the dunes.
