  Good to see a business doing well and offering great facility

  As a lifelong Southbourne resident, SoBo Beach Bar is irreplaceable. I visit almost daily to walk my dog, and events like the Sunday Sessions have introduced me to a wonderful community. The incredible staff have fostered an atmosphere of genuine warmth, love, and mutual support that a brand-new building or corporate operator can never replicate. Its organic, rustic charm is the finest asset our neighbourhood has to offer, and its loss would be deeply felt. It has become therapy for me!

  Great place to meet, positive community space. Encourages being outdoors, being sociable, enjoying the beach all year round.

  It is the soul of a vibrant, energetic community that is the antithesis of the tired tatty town it resides in

  It’s the heart of the beach all year round. Not just a bar with food but all sorts of classes and events

  They support my business by buying product from us and also have become a fantastic hub for locals, dog walkers, holiday makers and sea swimmers alike. What be a huge mistake if they had to go!!

  It’s just a lovely place. I’ve spent summers around here for as long as I remember with my grandad and now with friends

  Such an important place for the community

  It is such a lovely community feel , bringing people together of all walks of life & ages. I spend time down there with friends & family throughout the whole year . Walking my dog or swimming in the sea , it is always a lovely place to sit & have a coffee after . Taking away such a special place from so many people would be tragic .

  Chilled. Relaxed. Perfect for a coffee after a swim. Way better than higher priced, more formal option previously.

  Visit most weeks to swim with a group, walk the dog, meet friends and love the inclusive community and welcoming vibes. Please consider the huge and established community that this venue has created

  It’s just a wonderful cool relaxing place… affordable and for one something that’s not exactly the same as all the second rate venues along the coast

  I have made amazing memories at Sobo Beach with family and friends, young and old. This is a place for everyone with the community at the heart of it, which is why it works! Please please do not shut this wonderful place down, there really isn't anything else like this it has something special.

  This is a valuable asset to the community. With events and a perfect place for locals to meet through all days and times of the week. This would leave a huge void to many of us, should it become anything other than the business and team currently providing the services that it has been doing (so well) for so long.

  I swim, paddle board and SOBO make this area attractive first place I want to visit when going to the beach, when my friends visit this is where I take them.
