  • It’s a community and joy, as safe space to enjoy the beach. From great snacks, to a party spot, a space for some peace to community events and creative workshops. Bournemouth needs more spaces like this not less. Don’t take away a space full of heart made for and by the community that makes Bournemouth special.

  • Sobo means a lot to us as a family because it’s such a great community, from all the amazing bar staff and people who work there, it’s always a great atmosphere and it should remain as it is. The team have created a fantastic place for everyone to come and enjoy! It would be a massive loss to the community that come there.

  • This venue is supporting local community projects and matches the needs and wishes of us (the local community). It should absolutely stay and be supported.

  • Great place for local community

  • It's a great spot on the beach to stop for a drink /food when walking along the beach. We do not want a chain or posh place in that area as it fits well where it is and enhances the area. They also do a lot for the community

  • Great to have somewhere that feels truly local and community lead. Fantastic vibe. Reasonably priced for a good service. Not interested in more expensive tourist focused offering. Can go to Bournemouth for that if you want it.

  • It is a great asset for the area, attracts hundreds of visitors during most periods throughout the year. For locals it is a fantastic chance to meet and share the amenities. Further more it is affordable and not overpriced.
