  SOBO Beach is pillar of the community for us locals and not just in the summer months! We love stopping in when walking the dog or after a sea dip! It would be absolutely gutting to see it go

  I enjoy coming here with my family and I used to love the restaurant with a beautiful view and being able to go for coffee. I don’t like the loud music, drinking culture and the expensive prices.

  It’s a much needed community hub on our coast, affordable and unique. Closing it would be a terrible shame and a poor move for BCP council.

  It’s a lovely local place to go for local people, young or old. There is something for everyone! Dog walkers, swimmings, runners & family’s - it’s a safe happy place

  Sobo beach has become a hub for our friends and family to meet at, and we are there 3 to 4 times a week. It’s become embedded in our community and is part of why we love this area so much. We love it as it is. Relaxed, grounded and atmospheric. When visitors come and stay with us, we always take them there so that they can experience the atmosphere. And this is all true even through the winter months. It feels very local and true to the spirit of the area.

  We are new to the area, and we loved the community feel and everyone has been so welcoming. And the charity work SOBO does is fantastic.

  A great space for everyone to enjoy. Encourages community and year-round enjoyment of the beach for locals, not just catering for holidaymakers

  Use it almost every weekend after a dog walk on the beach. Fantastic staff, fantastic views and makes you feel like you could be in any part of the world. Would be incredibly sad to see this venue go !
