  • I live and work locally and often do the charity beach clean supported by Sobo Beach

    Mark, Bournemouth · signed 4 hours ago

  • They have different events which i like to attend. I have never seen any trouble there. Everybody is welcome. Its fun and welcoming. I think it would be a massive shame for them to go. It would affect other small businesses and the local (and not so local) community

  • Swim here, meet friends here, bring the kids and family here. It has a very special place in our hearts because of its unique feel- fun, vibrant, caring, and local.
