  • It’s my local beach bar, and I’ve popped in many times for a coffee, enjoyed the parties, and joined many friends from work for the annual silent disco and beach yoga sessions hosted by Sobo Beach as part of the Wellness Festival. It’s a special place filled with lovely memories.

  • This is a staple of our sobo community. We love this venue as it’s a great place to walk to in any weather, always a great welcome and a really relaxing vibe. A perfect destination for bringing our dogs to. The wellbeing events are amazing and great to be able to go for a dip, it’s a safe space and a safe place to leave things. Moreover, the team have done a magnificent job creating this community. BCP, why would you want to break up and spoil this amazing part of our beach life?

  • I have grave concerns about the site being left empty. Sobo Beach has a proven record and great community support. These types of businesses should be encouraged in the local area.

  • The bus has such a cool vibe. Sheltered if you want it or sit in the sun too. If it's not struggling then don't change it . Whenever I e been it's always been busy.

  • Sobo Beach is the heart of Southbourne beach It’s a great Community and a fantastic place for people of all ages to socialise. The atmosphere is truly amazing and the beach wouldn’t be the same without it there, both during the summer and winter. I live at the top of the cliff top and use it frequently. It really is the heart beat of BH6.
