Look, just avoid anything described as a "tourist attraction"
Take a walk round the town, fall into a couple of pubs or coffee shops and, before you know it, you will never want to leave. You will just feel so at home.
Get a map and find East Street, and start at the "seafront" end of East Street. Walk up East Street, past AllSaints on your right (fab shop), and when you get to the Jack Wills shop, turn left up Prince Albert Street.
Walk up past The Mesmerist (really nice pub, good food and sometimes great little bands in the corner by the bar playing laid back jazz swing music). The Mesmerist always has a selection of ales from local brewers, if that's your sort of thing. Keep going past The Cricketers (another fab pub ... amazing little bar at the front, and nice seated area round to the side). Still following the road, you'll come to a big Fat Face store on the right. Here, you should turn right BUT!! before you do, walk up to the end of the road and back. The little pedestrianised bit up ahead of you has got the most fantastic chocolate shops. One of them, Choccywokkydoodaah just HAS to be visited. It's incredible. SO, back down to Fat Face (so you're now going to turn left, rather than right), cross the main road, turn right, and walk down to Bond Street. Turn left into Bond Street, and be ready to think "Oh, wow!" because the shops there are just fab and quirky.
Stroll all the way along Bond Street, do the shops, have a coffee, etc. At the end, turn right and second right (first right is a bit of a back alleyway), and head back towards the main road. There's a fun Cachaca Bar called Las Iguanas and there's the Theatre. If you like, do a quick lap of the Pavillion gardens on your left, but come back to the front of the Theatre, and then continue on and cross the main road again.
NOW ... if you look up as you cross the road, you will see a small passage leading back t

(cont.) ... a small passage leading back to The Lanes ... I think it's Meeting House Lane, but it's definitely signposted to "The Lanes". You're now in the narrow, quirky bit of The Lanes. When you get to the end of Meeting House Lane, go left and head back towards East Street (do you still have your map with you??). You will come out end up in The Sussex, another good pub.
Okay okay ... then maybe go down to the seafront ... if you must.
But I promise you ... if you walk that route, you will pass loads and loads of fab, jolly places to shop and snack. You'll probably just want to go round again the next day because, as you go round, you'll spot all the other little things that you want to go back and see.
