I walk my dog there all year round and enjoy sitting on the cafe terrace thinking how lucky I am to have this place.

SoBo Beach is the place we go to get away from the challenges of life, either going for a walk and stopping for a coffee or relaxing listening to music. It offers a relaxed laid back setting , that brings the community together.

SOBO Beach is part of our beach community. The council yet again do not listen to local opinion's
Roger, Southbourne · signed 8 days ago
The sense of community that it gives in the local area but particularly that it is on the beach and the link to well-being that has.

Great place to visit after a beach dog walk. Current operators are doing a great job and it's very popular with locals. Lease should be extended!

It is the heart of a lovely community ! Yoga, swim, dancing, men’s mental health. If this closes the community will suffer. I also don’t feel anyone else could be anything better. It takes years to create a community like this ! Awful to kick the business out that has given its all the the area and people. It’s not just a cafe !!!

Love to visit eat drink swim and socialise

It's a great place to meet up with people and socialise. The atmosphere is so good and the food and drink is very good and reasonable. My family from Stratford Upon Avon visit and love the place. They all go there for brunch when they come to visit. Please keep something that is working and thoroughly enjoyed by locals and visitors alike and is a big asset to Southbourne.

It is a great venue with a huge community atmosphere and ethic ! I don’t believe that any other company can deliver anything like what ‘SOBO’ has created

Great place to meet friends for a cuppa by the sea. Sobo has a lovely community feel.

Amazing place, very important for the community and the area as a whole. Get rid of places like this and you will start to see more anti social behaviour- support local businesses that make a positive difference!

Unique iconic venue. Friendly staff, great music, first class coffee ( hard to find these days), lovely food and exquisite cocktails. Leave it alone, we all love it.

I swim here every weekend. It’s a fabulous community resource and the council shouldn’t be able to do this.

SOBO Beach is so much more than just a place to eat and drink. It’s a welcoming community space that brings people together, supports mental health and offers activities for all ages. It’s a huge part of Southbourne and would be a real loss to the local community if it closed.

I can walk down for a coffee and talk to people, very good when you are elderly and have limited mobility! Coffee good too!
