The advice already given is as much as I can tell you, but I was brought up in Southsea and as a kid, I remember the beach either side of the pier absolutely chocker with holiday makers.
Not so much down the Eastney end, but right up to Clarence pier it has accommodated thousands of people through the years. One place I would try is under South Parade Pier, right up the back against the wall, this was always a favoured spot for a bit of Hows yer Father, with night club revellers, sailors etc (I wondered where that 2 bob bit went!) rl; I find so as not to attract attention, do the beaches just before dusk. Good Luck. ::g
I have a cunning plan
