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.

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

It's a beautuful area of natural beauty with activities, and it's free and untouched . I want it to stay that way.

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.

Visited friends in the summer who raved about this place so had to go and see what the fuss was about! What a great spot and lovely community atmosphere - would be a shame to see it go.

We come here multiple times a week! Our whole family love it, the vibe, the food, the music, the people! Best thing about this community and place!

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.
