I LOVE SOBO! We are there every weekend and weekday we can ! Any excuse! We love it! It's such a great social meeting point and very important part of the community.

There is no other place quite as special as SOBO beach, for me and my daughter, it’s the perfect place to socialise and have fun, the silent discos and many more certainly help my mental well being. Its fun, friendly and vibrant atmosphere is just what’s needed for so many people. Please don’t take this from us.

I go to sobo multiple times a week it is such a lovely place to meet friends at the beach for a drink in the evening or get a coffee on a dog walk. It has such a big community vibe and is the best place on the beach front. I would be utterly upset if sobo was to go.

A great venue we venture to in summer and winter from 20 miles away and have enjoyed such great times here.

Every Christmas we come down to SOBO and have a hot chocolate on the beach. It means we can use the facilities we have even when it is not the best weather!!

Because it’s something unique and has a real vibe. Brings people together and connects with the beach itself and all the activities the area holds on the beach. The running clubs. Sobo has a relaxed vibe and it’s fun. Allows kids, dogs the lot. Everyone is welcome

This is a valuable community venue. The landlords have made it the place it is. Please don’t throw them out they’ve done a great job

It is the hub of a community, something that is very much lacking from today’s society.

it’s an amazing place that offers a gathering space not only for food and drinks but community, there’s no other place like it on the area and it offers a unique vibe and familiarity
