  SOBO Beach has brought the community together in such a short amount of time. Yes they are a profit organisation but how many other establishments will willingly give so much thought and care back in to the community. Simply removing during a planning period for new tenants makes no sense and BCP clearly do not take the community impact in to consideration.

  I go there almost every week and I can’t think of a better place than this. My family whenever they visit from different countries this is where they feel their holidays are complete

  It is a vibrant community venue frequented by many people across all ages. Nothing else like it on the whole beach front in BCP area. Don’t change something that really works.

  SOBO is a huge part of our community. We love to visit for a drink & the food is AMAZING. Friends & family visiting the area also love it. There is nowhere else to go on that part of the beach so would be really sad if it went.

  SOBO means so much more to me than just a venue on the beach. When I got sober it became a special place where I could enjoy Sunday afternoons surrounded by lovely people,great music & a beautiful relaxed atmosphere.Being able to sit by the sea feel the sand beneath my feet & enjoy the music in a peaceful environment became a big part of my sober journey. It showed me that I could still have fun, meet people and enjoy life without alcohol.Please don’t take away something that bring so much joy

  It’s a wonderful place that caters for everyone. From morning swims to evening dance parties, it’s far greater than the sum of its parts.

  It’s a great community hub, somewhere to get a coffee, beer and food as well as the many amazing events they put on. It is now a go to place whenever I have friends or family visit and had the right character for Southbourne and a beach front cafe.

  I used to use the Sobo beach Cafe which was pulled down to make way for a new complex which the council shelved this has been a great replacement and I use regularly my family also love it when they come to visit it is a great draw for the area and generates income

  I visit Sobo often for morning coffees and evening drinks with friends - it is a popular place for locals to visit all year around and would be disappointing if it was removed. People will most likely not visit the new establishment if Sobo is replaced

  It’s a fantastic starting point for a beach walk!

  Paul, Surrey & Hampshire · signed 4 days ago

  It’s a place to meet friends locally. I can walk . Great opening hours so you can go morning or evening, just a casual beach style shack with food, drink and music is all that’s needed.

  It's a brilliant space to get together by the beach with family and friends! Would be awful if our council ruined yet another nice place in Bournemouth!!

  I come to Dorset many times a year - there are other counties i could go to but the lure and community friendliness of SOBO tips the balance and draws me back every time. Without this place i would probably go elsewhere.
