  • I visit SOBO every time I'm in Southbourne, such a great friendly place and a real travesty to lose such a successful independent business that serves not only the seasonal beach goers but the local community for no real reason.

  • It is a beautiful beach

  • Love SoBo Beach - when I relocated to the UK from New Zealand 3 years ago it was a big selling point to move to Southbourne and a great place to meet new people and bring family and friends to when they visit. Staff are lovely, food is great and there is always something going on ! - just a fantastic place to have on our doorstep. Now I’ve moved to Christchurch I still come back all the time.

  • Sobo is a place like no other, I love the friendly vibe , I can walk there for drinks or coffee and enjoy the beautiful views. Love the community there and always bumping into friends. Would also miss the fab events such as silent discos, live music. Also my daughter works there ! I don't do pubs, but I do 'do' Sobo!

  • Don’t let Sobo Go! Always visit when we stay in the New Forest, we’ve been for the last four years on August bank holiday to see Brandon! Lovely vibe is such a shame to see it go brings people from all over the country to visit for all different reasons we cone from Milton Keynes!
