It is an independent place rooted in the community - it has a creative ecclectic vibe - and we use it every week - the beach goers and community need exactly this facility - it is unique and has soul - do not replace this with a corporate profit focused cafe it will destroy the community groups built around this place

It's a genuine community venue who cater for all ages in a number of activities and nowhere around here does that at a beach. The staff and facilities are fantastic and they listen to the community and put in place suggestions made by for the community . I know the venue makes money but at least it ensures we all get good value for money for young or older. The atmosphere is truly wonderful as it's relaxing, clean, organised and extremely friendly to all. It has become vital for the community.

There's got to be something nice about the beach when we cant go in the water due to its filth!

A wonderful asset for the community to enjoy. We visit SOBO beach almost daily to meet friends. We have enjoyed great hospitality, fantastic music and wonderful food. It would be a travesty if it were to be replaced. Please keep SOBO beach!!!!

I use this weekly, it’s an important social hub for southbourne used by many. The people who run it genuinely care about the locals and are aware of being considerate to the neighbours. This place is run well, considerately and with local people in mind, why on earth would BCP want anybody else there

Great place to stop for coffee while walking along the beach, with the option of food if needed.
