It’s a community where so many different events take place. It’s a place for connection and belonging. I meet friends there to watch sunsets, swim , drink coffee and eat pastries,

This wonderful independent beach café is a rare gem, full of much needed character, charm and individuality. Its eclectic atmosphere brings people together and offers a diverse set of events. Please protect what makes our coastline special and varied.

We love this beach and regularly spend time on the beach, which we enjoy and like to always have access to this beach.

It’s a lovely chilled place to meet friends. It has a fantastic atmosphere and is always busy and lively. I’d be devastated to see this go.

SOBO is the vibrant jewel in the crown that is the beach at Southbourne. Any decision to close or radically change the site is totally short-sighted and misinformed. Hopefully BCP will take note of residents' feelings to maintain the best beach bar/café in the area. This will be a real test of BCP's interest in it's council tax payers.

It's not just a cafe..it's a community hub that provides an atmosphere any other vendor would struggle to match. SOBO has transformed that area of the beach and it needs to stay. SO MUCH LOVE FOR SOBO!!!!

I walk my dog near here everyday, it’s a key part of our weekends and we love seeing the winter sunsets. It’s where we take friends to show off how amazing our home is. I love that it engages so much with the community too. Please don’t take this away from us!
