  Great events held there and a real community feel. Nothing else like it around here so would be such a shame to see it go!

  I come here every week for coffee after a long walk along the beach. There’s no coffee shop like it. Great community. Open every day of the year.

  I love the atmosphere. People of all ages & the music. When the suns shining & the musics playing, I feel like I’m on holiday!

  It’s a true hub of the area all year round and a true asset to southbourne. To lose it would have a significant negative impact on the area and the residents! If anything we need more SOBOs!!

  It is the only venue that I am aware of that is so inclusive ..I am 75 years old and I know I can go there at anytime eith friends family or on my own and feel comfortable. The service they provide to the community is invaluable .. it would be a travesty to close it down at the whim of a council which fails to consider the people who voted them in .

  Community, wellness, social space that brings people together for many reasons. The beating heart of a beautiful community.

  My children’s favourite place to go, swim and a treat from SoBo. Community at the heart. It can’t go.

  Living so close it is a great amenity on the beach but also somewhere to sit quietly and have a coffee

  Every Christmas morning we go visit the beach for a swim and a hot chocolate at Sobo. Always amazing vibes.

  It’s a proper community - I come here for coffee, food, a pint, the music events, it’s a real hub where everyone feels welcomed and it brings great community vibes

  It’s more than just a cafe. It’s a community or people interested in their health and welfare.

  The beach hut we share is close, it is a real pleasure just to walk along there get a pint or a cuppa and then sit outside the hut and enjoy the beach. Our grandchildren come and love their hot chocolate. It has a great vibe and makes that part of South Bourne a real destination. Our friends that visit love it, our neighbours love it and so do the family. The wuerkie atmosphere is very attractive and they do the best soft ice-cream. At least leave it open until planning is sorted

  We love SOBO Beach. We live in Bucks but come down regularly. It's a great community feel to the point we've thought about moving to Southbourne. Absolutely love the Sunday Sessions.
