  It is a community hub for many local people. It attracts tourists and looks after the surrounding environment. As a women I feel safe being there on my own. I never feel intimidated or unsafe and is open all year round.

  We come with our family. In the summer and winter. There is always something going on, there is no place like it and it’s important to have these places in our community where people can gather to have fun and take part in activities.

  Sobo beach is one of our fave spots , we absolutely love doing our family beach walks and then stopping here for a drink and the kids play on the beach before to do our walk back. If it wasn’t there we would actually walk that way along the beach. We leave feeling like we’ve had a great time, with the music, vibe and refreshments available there’s something that suits everyone in our family.

  It provides the perfect beach experience that you don't find elsewhere in Bournemouth. Tourists and residents alike can enjoy a unique atmosphere that could be anywhere in the world. Making it a restaurant would be such a backward step.

  SoBo Beach is a truly special place with its unique 90s vibe, friendly atmosphere and breathtaking sunsets. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy golden hour with stunning views of Boscombe and Bournemouth Piers. It brings people together and creates beautiful memories. It would be such a shame to lose this little gem! ❤️
