It's such a lovely set up. Chilled and friendly place to go for a coffee and cake after paddle boarding, or a drink after a walk. We go every week at some point and gutted it may be closing.

This is a valuable local resource this is used by both locals and visitors of all agree. It will be a massive loss to the community.

Welcoming place to come and relax if it’s just for a drink or even nice food. The wellbeing activities are also interesting to attend. Amazing place which makes you feel part of a community.

Changing to a new lease holder is not in the community’s interest- SOBO beach bus provide excellent pricing, vibrancy and it’s a place people plan their day around. I would be curious to know why the lease is being taken from them, and who benefits from that? Are pockets being lined?

I regularly visit there and feel there’s nothing like Sobo beach in the area so why risk it just turning into another nice as it is Rock Water Cafe

Sobo Beach is a venue where I've had the best experiences, especially at the very popular Sunday Sessions with DJs including Brandon Block, Big T and Lisa Loud. The venue operators, the event promoters and various community groups have put in a lot of effort to make Sobo Beach the community asset it's become. It's important that the community views are listened to.
