We have a flat in Southbourne and absolutely love SOBO beach. The good it does the whole community is fantastic and it’s always busy.

It’s my happy place for so many reasons. Please don’t loose something that is working so well for so many. Life is tough enough.

It’s a fantastic place to come socially and definitely adds to the community. The BCP area really needs places like this and it would be a crying shame to see it go

Me and family go to Sobo beach almost everyday. All our friends meet there. I do yoga there. The kids do art club there. We eat there, drink there. Spend Christmas morning there. We love it. It will be so very sad for so so many people if it goes.

SOBO Beach has become a hub for social activity at the Hengistbury end of Southbourne. It is constantly busy, thus proving its popularity, the staff are fabulous and the selection of food and drink, especially the coffee, is excellent.

It’s THE place to go, its the most community spirited venue for all ages, it supports everyone everyday, non judgemental, happy, alive, great vibe you leave with the most happiest soul, fun perfectly by its owners … not a horrid chain or franchise this place is real and it works … leave it as it is!

Every time I come down to tucton, southboune or Christchurch I normally visit sobo beach. Such a vibrant and unique place to hang out, get a drink or a bite to eat.. head and shoulders above what used to be here before and should be protected as encourages people to revisit the area
