I meet family and friends there. It's given the area such a friendly vibe. It's unique, and we residents are proud of it.

Sobo beach brings the community together and has really transformed Southbourne beach. It is a fun and inclusive place to visit for humans and 4 legged fiends. I don't believe any other business could beat what we already have. I am shocked the lease is not being renewed. Please reconsider.

It's the best place locally to meet friends, grab a drink, snack after a swim. Attend one of their many events. It's quirky & different & is a great addition to Southbourne Beach. The perfect place to go all year round. All the staff are so friendly & there's always a great vibe there.

I believe spaces that support family life, social connection, physical activity and mental wellbeing are incredibly important to the health of our community. Sobo Beach provides a welcoming space that encourages connection.

Every day I walk to Sobo, it has been a lifeline when life has been hard - never underestimate the power of community - please consider what is the right thing to do - make the brave choice and stand up for what is right - trust your heart, know your community and keep Sobo open
