Its a great, family friendly and community hub for so many people. It would be such a shame to see it go, the effort they have put into making it a place that welcomes everyone is what makes sobo beach what it is.

It is my family's favourite place on earth. Any occasion - we go there. It's the atmosphere, the liveliness, the sense of community, the fun. There is absolutely nothing else on offer like it close to Christchurch

I regularly meet family there for coffee and breakfast, join in the community events, attend the Sundays in the summer, walk the dog and stop in for breakfast. It’s been a huge hit for all of Sobo and they have solely out this spot in the map.

It is the most relaxing and welcoming place. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and helpful. It's the perfect place if you're on your own or meeting up with friends. It is enjoyed by so many people of all ages and interests.

It's the best place locally! Great vibe, entertainment, community spirit! It's more than just a business. It's a community hub for MANY! I'd suggest that BCP subsidise them to stay right where they are! As they are! I'm Bournemouth born & bred!

I have a beach hut near by and use it for socialising and food and drink. It gives an all round lively atmosphere and community feel and we would be very sad to lose it!!
Emily, Bournemouth · signed 17 hours ago
So I are a real asset for not just Southbourne, but the whole of Bournemouth, especially the community events they have.

Lovely for a morning coffee and a drink in the evening
A supporter · signed 17 hours ago
It's the heart of the community it's an affordable, fun, family venue that the whole family can enjoy. Sobo beach has managed to bring people together as a community in a way that hasn't been there before. Local people are not interested in fancy venues with high profit margins, we want honest local community ventures like sobo beach being supported and backed by our local authorities.

Cycle along the beach and often stop at SoBo, particularly when the Sessions are on
