We love it! We walk by with our dog most days and love seeing what’s going on - it’s so lovely to see everyone enjoying the location & the vibes of Sobo Beach. Anytime we get chance to have a coffee, meet for breakfast, or even just a drink - Sobo is our 1st choice. We know people who travel from London to visit Sobo Beach too. It’s got a well deserved reputation as the best beach bar around. It would be an absolute tragedy for the whole area if it closed or had to change. It’s perfect!

Sobo beach is an asset to the community. They have worked so hard to create an amazing place and deserve to keep it.

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.

It's a fabulous place to take friends and family...feels like a community...Bournemouth has lost so much already! Don't turn this into a ghost town.

I come here for coffee weekly and bring my son for him to have a play and me to have a sit down and coffee. But this is more about the community that sobo beach brings!
