We love to walk there from Stanpit and relax with coffee or food and a drink

I swim here every week and it is a very sentimental place for me as all of my friends used to swim with me here and they have since moved away so when they come back down it’s like the old days

We walk here every weekend and play with the kids and pick up some food and a drink. The relaxed nature of it is fantastic and it will be such a shame to replace it.

Im part of a large running community and it runs every week! We cant allow sobo to shut down after the crowds of people I see there every week!

I have been able to use it for a variety of reasons whilst at Southbourne with family and friends.

It’s great for the community, run amazingly well and always enjoy every minute of being there. Loosing it would be a huge blow to the people of Southbourne

Such a relaxing, friendly place to chill out for a drink and/or food. Wonderful vibes!

I love having a coffee after a swim or treating myself to a drink with friends. It's the best place to hang out by the seaside! I've had small business meetings on the bus, joined a silent disco, danced, eaten there...

I swim here all year round and this place is so much more than just another beach front cafe, it’s a massive part of the community and what they have created is extremely special. To lose it would be an absolute disaster. The council need to re think there actions ASAP!

Spend my entire summer down there on the beach and love the food and community

Having young Teens this place provides a safer environment to send them to the beach. It is obvious the community it has provided. We don't want development/developers that produce high cost and soulless buildings that have no community impact.

We need this business

SOBO is a unique & uplifting venue that is one of the few real gems in the BCP area. Great for locals- cyclists, walkers, swimmers and for meet ups. Original and fun. Surely we don't need another Rockwater or expensive eatery.

my family and i use this much loved community venue all year round.

I visit SOBO beach regularly, whenever I can. It has an amazing community & it would be a great shame to lose it. The beach bar is unique whether you want a drink or a just coffee. Please don’t let this be lost.

Firstly we have a dog so take him for a walk and stop on the way back, you can have a coffee and cake or something more substantial- I love the laid back atmosphere, the staff are always friendly and it is welcoming rather than some of the more ‘stuffy’ places
Ginette, Christchurch · signed 7 days ago
It's a fantastic place to eat, drink and spend time, there's nothing like it and it would be a massive loss to the beachfront and the community.
Helen, Poole · signed 7 days ago
It’s such a relaxing sociable place to meet up with friends & family. Dog friendly too, & such a great location
A supporter in Boscombe · signed 7 days ago
It’s an absolutely lovely place. Lots of communities built around it, yoga, run clubs, wellness, etc. the atmosphere is always nice, staff are really friendly and it’s a joy to be there. It would be such a big loss for the community if SOBO would disappear.

My favourite place to go in all of the area. Silent discos, iced coffee on a walk. Where I meet my friends. Such a hub for the community and loved by visitors.
