Its a lovely walk along the beach, nice to stop and get a drink, bite to eat and the sunday sessions are great fun, being outside near the sea, it feels like your in holiday but your not your down your local beach enjoying the views with a safe environment to have fun with family and friends.

The perfect place to relax with my flat white after a swim, a run or a dog walk always with a lovely welcome

Sobo matters to me because it's a great community hub with a nice class of people. We quite often take our dog's along the beach and it's nice to see people enjoying themselves.

It’s my favourite place to go no matter what the weather or occasion. I’ve spent so much time here with my family and we would be devastated if it went. My parents visit sobo almost everyday and it’s part of their routine, it would break my heart if it went.

It’s a community and a place where people can go to enjoy and it’s not a chain! It brings people together!

Such a cool place, nothing else much like this along this stretch of coast and a caters for all age groups. So disappointing to hear it is closing.

Sobo beach matters to me as I meet my friends there i walk my dog down there. it’s a fun social place for iconic days such as christmas day, silent disco nights, halloween parties and so on. They have firmly placed this location on the map for people to sit and enjoy a nice coffee in the morning so to take this away would destroy the socials down there. therefore i decline for sobo to be taken over as its an icon spot!

I enjoy having a drink there on a beach walk

It's a beautiful place to spend time with our kids...we love going down there to grab a coffee, breakfast, lunch or ice cream whilst looking out on the beautiful beach. It brings us area and we spend so much more time and money because it's there. We simply wouldn't visit anywhere near as much if this all gets taken away.
