I go there regularly and am always impressed by the staff. I love that it's a bus. The previous place was awful.

It’s a great place for locals to get together. A real community spirit. All the events that are put on bringing everyone together. It cannot go. X

I visit Sobo Beach bus regularly. It is an amazing location and unique venue drawing the local community and tourists together. I have used it for SEND events too

My children and whole family love this beach, the food options are fantastic and the vibe is modern. Sobo makes us choose going to this beach over others

It’s a lovely vibrant cafe, meeting point for myself and our friends. Employs local teens and gave my son his first opportunity of playing live music at the age of 16.

Use it regularly after having a walk along the beach or having an early evening drink by the beach.

It brings the community together in this amazing location right by the sea all year round,therefore helping the fight against loneliness and bad mental health . A full range of activities are available to all ages. It is important to local residents and to visitors, thus helping the tourist industry of Bournemouth. As the centre of Bournemouth is challenged in this area currently, the success of well established hospitality hubs in the surrounding area is even more important.

Great staff, great service, great vibe. Nothing else like it in the region. No need for it to run by anyone else.

We visit Bournemouth a few times a year and this venue really delivers on a great atmosphere to relax and unwind from the daily stresses. The loss of SoBo would be significant.

It’s an amazing place that you can meet with friends and take the kids - keeps everyone happy! Please don’t take it away and please council people - stop being greedy!!!! You get enough out of businesses and residents!!!!!

They do a lot of good work bringing the community together

Sobo has real community at its heart and has worked hard to build that over the years. It's given so much to the local area, to take that away now would be devastating, especially if the community's voice has not been heard, it would be unjust.

i come here all the time when i’m at the beach and the music id always so fun
A supporter in Christchurch · signed 4 days ago
Sobo Beach is a fun, casual expression of beach life and community. We love the way we can walk in there sandy and enjoy the service, food, and drink without it feeling like a pretentious restaurant!
