  • I live in Poole, but often go to SoBo beach I love this place It is a great place for a drink and food . But it’s much more than that ! Swimming , running, yoga, salsa, DJs, to name a few ! This is a far and wide wellbeing community hub, we need more like this, NOT SHUTTING THEM DOWN! Come on BCP DO THE RIGHT THING !

  • I often go for walks around that part of the coast and pop in for a coffee or lunch. Always bring friends visiting us from outside of the town. We love the place, he community feel it has and the very special vibe.

  • It's the best place that's ever happened to this area. We don't have many places that cater to the whole community. Don't take this special place away. It will impact so many people who love SOBO So much more than somewhere to drink and eat, it's a safe place for many to meet and feel like they belong. 🙏..

  • We spent a lot of time here in the summer, many happy memories. It's a wonderful place, and so popular with the locals.

  • Community, yoga, swimming, space for mental health boosting. Dont turn it into a massive commercial place its great how it is, authentic and low impact

  • Means Everything. It is the community hub. Must be kept.

  • I am an all round beach swimmer and the cafe is a big warm hug for all us swimmers and they have built a community that all are welcome. This is not just a business as they invest in the community they serve. They are doing an amazing job in support of people with mental health and other disabilities so cannot understand how any change would be for the good of the public you serve and who want it to stay

  • I swim all year round and it is a fantastic place to socialise

    Jacqueline, Southbourne · signed 7 days ago

  • I attend here with my daughter on my days off. Since our daughter was born last year, SoBo has been a sanctuary for me, my wife and our family. We visit regularly, and enjoy the atmosphere and community. We regularly use this as a meeting place with friends. It would be a travesty to close SoBo beach down
