I’m a local widow and have coffee each morning at SOBO Beach - this simple activity means I speak to someone that day, and helps me get through the winter.

A great atmosphere and right on the beach. Fitness classes too.

I thoroughly enjoy relaxing with my pals down here. It’s got a great vibe. It needs to stay. Have you seen how crowded it gets?
Deborah, Southbourne · signed 5 days ago
It’s been a great place to come in the heart of the local community. Has a good feel about it unlike many of the other beach sides businesses and is popular all year round.

Local Community Hub created, with amazing food and Drinks!
Rob, Southbourne · signed 5 days ago
Strong community hub for all ages, bringing together sports groups, local creatives, wellbeing groups, music events and is a beautiful place to rest and enjoy. It would be a detriment to the local community if Sobo beach was to close
Zoe, Southbourne · signed 5 days ago
Sobo Beach is perfect for all.

It's a vital community space that is much more than a beach bar - while also still being a fabulous beach bar!
