The community spirit this place embodies is like nothing else in the BCP area. We’re there most weekends, it would be a travesty to close such a thriving business.

It’s got so many memories for me and it’s the best place to escape to. Unique

A fantastic, quirky place that we spend so much time in. A place for the whole community. A tragic loss if it goes. Classic BCP, working for local residents and doing everything they don’t want.

Love this place, as a newcomer to the area in 2025 we found the BOBO beach bar and have visited lots over the summer att all different times. A great place, friendly, great community spirit and doggie friendly

We eat and drink and buy ice creams regularly through the year and live the music and atmosphere it brings to the beach.

We drink here, we eat here, we walk the dog here, we bring friends who are visiting us here, we love it here and is one of the reasons we moved near to this area

I’m the Race Secretary for the SOBO5 which we ran from SOBO Beach for the first time in July. It was a fab venue and helped make our event a huge success!

This venue brings all my friends from far and wide together. It’s the perfect location with the best atmosphere. Please keep it going!

Such an important community asset
Samantha, Southbourne · signed 5 days ago
Great community location that feels safe to go to. Great for everyone as a meeting place in the daytime, whilst at the beach , out for a walk, evening venue with the organised events. A super venue for the local community that works well. Would be a tragic loss for Southbourne.

Every time we visit my sister who lives and we irks in Southbourne, we visit SoBo beach. We love the cafes and the unique atmosphere they bring to the fabulous seafront. It wet old be such a loss to a great beach.

SOBO Beach is a great addition to our seafront. It has become such a hub for the local community & we visit often, either when out walking our dog, or simply to meet friends.
