Its great for the community in a town in such a decline

It is somewhere I go with friends and family. It is a unique place that will be sorely missed, especially if it changes into being the same as any of the other coastal eateries that don't cater to families and local people.

I often visit Sobo. It is such a special place for all ages, there are not many places like it.

It’s for everyone not just locals. And definitely not for people who have money. It’s a quality place to visit. The vibes,the Sunday sessions. Going for those winter walks and having a hot chocolate meeting like minded people.

I walk to this landmark cafe sevrral times a week with my dogs all year around and would be devastated if it closed.

I use the cafe year-round and love the community surrounding it. It is a unique resource that I don’t think could be replicated by anyone else

Regularly walk there and bird watch along the cliffs which a precious nestting site for Stonechats and the protected and Red List Dartford Warbler.

I visit from Surrey, many times a year. I love the SOBO Beach. It’s my little haven.

I swim here, walk here. It's a really fun place to visit and hang out and really does attract the community.

Whenever I visit my friends in Bournemouth this is the place to go. Friendly atmosphere, no judging everyone can be themselves. This is so important to this community. You cannot take this away.

Love Sobo ❤️🏖️. Over the last 4 years so many friends made as a result of Sobo Sundays! ❤️🎶 🪩 Lovely , happy smiling dancing likeminded people! Why change something that is perfectly well run and looked after, appreciated, respected and loved by so many in the local community and wider areas. Please please keep Sobo Beach alive just as it is! Perfect! 🎶🏖️🙏❤️

It’s a wonderful place which brings people and community together.

It’s a great place, not just for summer. Great for a cuppa during a walk, to sit and relax and for meeting some good people, don’t turn it into another soulless bcp beach venue- sobo is special!
Tina, Bournemouth · signed 5 days ago
It’s a great venue. If it’s not broke don’t fix it! Perhaps the BPC should ask the public they are supposed to serve what they want! 🤬

It’s the only place I go to relax and feel safe and enjoy
A supporter in Bournemouth · signed 5 days ago
We use this most weeks in the summer when we visit the beach with our young family and friends. It’s an excellent place with lovely facilities. There is no other place like it along the prom or nearby! It would be a waste to let this go.
A supporter in Bournemouth · signed 5 days ago
Dog friendly, very welcoming which can be rare in a great venue. Perfect place to grab a coffee and a sausage bap on a Sunday morning after letting the dogs play on the beach.
