  It’s the perfect place for a coffee or a drink with friends. It’s perfect for all ages and has become a family hub. The yoga and other organised activities. Visitors to the area come to visit SOBO beach.

  I visit regularly during summer and winter. It’s welcoming, well run and a great facility in a wonderful location and always busy. It needs to stay.

  Such a fantastic place to visit when we are down on holiday. Great community too. Without SOBU Beach we wouldn’t visit Southbourne.

  It is such a huge established part of the beach community and will have a massive negative impact on residents and regular visits if it is lost.

  I visit family who live there and its a spot we always meet in to hang. It's a special and unique place that makes the area different and more fun to visit which in turn has helped create a sense of community with those who go regularly.

  It is a lovely place that brings people together

  It’s not just an incredible beachside cafe but a real part of the community. Bringing people together. I love the way it has developed and grown by listening to what the southbourne community needs. They’ve worked so hard to develop this hub, I find it shocking that this could be removed and someone else would have to start all over again. Such a waste.

  A wonderful and unique community space that is cherished by so many. These kind of spaces should be protected and supported by BCP Council. The decision to reward the lease to the current 'preferred bidder' must be deferred.
