  • We take our kids there regularly, also love the early morning breakfast club where we can dance together as a family. And the sunset silent discos are second to none. It is a vital part of our community

  • Let’s face it, this is one of the only positive attractions about Bournemouth. It’s such a lovely space for people to meet, great vibes when the dj sets are there and must bring so much money to bcp council.

  • I have lived in Southbourne and enjoyed many years of using the beach, previous restaurant the bistro on the beach and the current facilities. They provide a great service whatever the season . A meeting place that is always busy. It’s lovely to walk the dogs and end the occasion with coffee and delicious treats. Don’t take this marvelous place away from us!
