Squeeze into a corner pub in North Laine whose walls are covered in old tins, many stuffed with notes left by drinkers over the years.

Walk west along the wide promenade past Hove Lawns and the long row of brightly painted beach huts, with the sea on one side and Regency terraces on the other.
Why it's a good date: Calmer than Brighton's front and lovely at any time of year. Pick a favourite hut, grab an ice cream or a coffee from a kiosk, and walk until you feel like turning back.
