With this in mind, we’ve listed the best options for date nights in the area.
Brighton - From The Lanes to the sea front, Brighton is highly instagrammable – and it’s a particularly good town for dates. If you’re up for a bit of fun, why don’t you head to the pier? You’ll each be able to enjoy games galore if you do. For something more refined, you could always visit a fancy restaurant in the centre afterwards. Or if you’re after a cheap and cosy date, how about a walk along the beach, followed by fresh fish and chips?
Portsmouth - OK, so romance may not be the first word that springs to mind when you hear the name Portsmouth. But despite what you might expect, Portsmouth is brimming with date night opportunities. When it comes to visual appeal, there’s no place better in the port city than The Rose Gardens. As its name suggests, this haven is dedicated to the sweet-smelling flower. Here, you and your date can explore its beauty at your own pace. Alternatively, for a more modern excursion, why don’t you climb the iconic Spinnaker tower? For a simpler day or evening out, stroll along one of its many beaches.
The beauty of choosing Portsmouth as a date destination is that you can easily reach it from any major city within the UK. You and your special someone could head by train from Southampton Central to Portsmouth or journey to the city from London.
Worthing - Worthing is a tourist hot spot – and it’s easy to see why. While its pier offers a fun day out, its friendly atmosphere helps visitors to feel welcome. Even better, it tends to be great for date nights. Take High Down gardens, for example. This sprawling green space is the perfect setting for a romantic afternoon. Boasting a variety of plants and flowers, it invites you to witness nature in all its glory. When you’ve finished, why not unwind at its Tea Rooms? A movie at the historic Dome cinema – the second oldest working film theatre in the UK – could be the perfect way to conclude the date.
For the ideal date night, look no further than the South Coast. It doesn’t just offer fresh sea air and friendly faces, it pretty much guarantees a thoroughly romantic evening.
