  • SOBO Beach doesn’t just serve the people in BCP it has a further reach - I live in New Milton and travel to this destination as there are few places like this on the south coast.

  • There are so few places on the beach from warren edge to Boscombe to meet friends/family for coffee, drinks ice creams, silent disco’s, yoga and more. Sobo beach has evolved into a one of a kind place that should be allowed to continue

  • I grew up in Southbourne. Never in my 71 years have I seen it so lively and full of good clean fun. We visit from Bristol more than twice a year and always go to Sobo Beach. It is the best things that has ever happened to this area. The atmosphere is friendly and happy and brings to much to the community. It would be so sad to see it take steps back and see it replaced by a run of the mill cheap beach cafe where noone really cares about anything other than money.

  • It’s a great vibe and a really lovely place to meet friends who live locally rather than having to go into Bournemouth with the tourists.

    Banu, Bournemouth · signed 5 days ago

  • It has built a fabulous community spirit that supports so many local people and also friends and family that come from outside our beautiful community. Why would you want to take away such a thriving business?

    A supporter in Boscombe · signed 5 days ago

  • It is a true community asset, where our friends and family love to meet. It has been developed by the current operators out of an area of run down seafront to be the vibrant space it id today.

    Andy, Southbourne · signed 5 days ago

  • Visit SOBO every 3 weeks for long weekend. Totally fabulous coffee and people.

    A supporter · signed 5 days ago

  • Its the ONLY place of its kind. It cannot be replaced. EL murhhinos tried and failed. Extend the SOBO lease.
