  • It’s the cornerstone of the community. Whether it’s walking the dog, swimming, work events or having a drink and unwinding on the weekend. If it goes then I won’t travel from BH11 to southbourne beach anymore. I will just go to the pub

  • Regular venue to meet up with friends year-round. It's become a community hub, bringing people from all walks of life together. It breathes life into the beach even on the coldest overcast days.

    Sally, Bournemouth · signed 9 days ago

  • It is a vibrant community hub. It supports many important causes such as mental health and wellbeing by hosting many groups and activities. These are aspects that I believe in as essential and could not be replaced easily.

  • SOBO is a valuable asset to the local area and community. The people that live in and around Bournemouth value its contribution as a beach venue that offers so much to all ages. Please listen to the voice of the local’s and renew the lease. Many Thanks, Carlen

  • Independent local company is always better

    Alex, Southbourne · signed 9 days ago

  • SOBO is a great draw to the beach. We regularly walk our dog then stop off for a drink year round. The music in the summer is great too. It would be such a loss, even more so if it’s going to be replaced with a generic BPC cafe

  • A perfect spot to meet friends and wind down - just perfect for a spot by the sea . Different than all the other restaurants and cafes and so welcoming and relaxing . A real community asset .

  • Love that it has so much for the locals. We don’t need a high end place on Southbourne beach. Great vibes and the dogs love it too. And crazy to make it close before any plans are certain. Go there at least twice a week.
