  I walk my dog on the beach and always stop for a drink and something to eat ! I’ve also taken my family who live elsewhere there! They love it ! It’s great in both summer and winter

  I live alone and at 83 I find it so friendly and comforting to stop off for a coffee etc when I walk my dogs. Just one of the only pleasures I have these days.

  Love visiting Sobo from Wiltshire to socialise with family - would hate to see this wonderful place go ... a real hub for the community

  Please don’t take this away and fill it with some commercial soulless franchise. This was built by locals to enrich and we all love it so much!

  Local community. Great events on for all ages and is a hub as a single person I rely on, sketch book club, meeting place, swim and coffee. Know it’s safe at night walking dog. Community matters!

  Sobo Beach is a huge part of the local community, offering something for everyone. Extremely popular with locals which makes it an ideal year round venue as well as appealing to holidaymakers. It would be a massive loss to the area if it is forced to close.

  My family live in SO5 and use it all the time to swim, play, socialise, exercise and join in community events.

  Amazing social hub for the community bringing all ages together whether for a day on the beach, singing, dancing or just a chat and coffee after dog walking

  Sobo Beach is a much loved resource and it's completely wrong that having built that business from scratch that our terrible and frankly corrupt council have given it to another party. I fear this is too late, but if we can save Sobo Beach. count me in.

  It is a community space where everyone is welcome.. For coffee, lunch, drinks, dinner, music, swimming, cakes, croissants and chat.

  It adds to the community with the events that are held there and the atmosphere that the cafe/bar creates

  SOBO Beach is not just a beach coffee shop and bar it is an asset to active wellbeing and mental health

  It is a wonderful social place. It’s the only place between Boscombe and Hengistbury head to get decent food and drinks, please don’t take such a beautiful place away from our community!

  It’s a fantastic venue that doesn’t much for the community. You cannot let this place go! It’s the total vibe for sobo.

  Because of the community that has grown up around it I walk with a men’s group that have been made to feel so welcome and I also swim there regularly

  Lovely place to stop for coffee and read a book or meet friends whatever the weather. It does a huge amount to unite the community and sometimes for me is the only reason to get out of bed and go out.
