It is the most welcoming and friendly location. We decided to move here from Warwickshire over a cocktail. We walk a puppy there and have met some amazing new friends.

Sobo Beach brings countless community groups together in a way that no other place has in the 20 years I have lived here. It is a safe, inclusive place for us all. The owners have done a fabulous job of contributing to our community and now the community wants to support them.

It’s our happy place. Always makes us feel good when we are there, whether it’s coffee, a drink by the sea in the afternoon, a silent disco, Sunday sessions. It’s the best place to be. Our family are from the north love it as much as we do. Our daughter worked there for her first job which gave her a great foundation. It’s a community. Always welcoming and recognising the regulars. Especially Rich, Sean and Claire. We would be devastated to see SoBo go. So many happy memories.

I feel we should have more venues like SOBO Beach as we don't have enough venues along our stretch of beach so we should value the ones we do have and encourage more not get rid of them.

I visit at least 6 times a year, such an amazing facility.

The addition of SOBO BEACH has been wonderful for the area, residents, visitors and the cleanliness of the Beach itself! The owners clearly care about the locals, the area and the social/environmental impact a business can have! They are the best thing in the area for years and taking away their business is horrendous! Money is not the be all!!! The locals want a business that also gives back to the residents and the area as Sobo beach does! Listen to the people who live here!

It is the best thing to happen in our area for decades. It serves so many people. Why does that not matter to BCP?
