Sobo beach has been such a great addition to Southbourne. I have a group of friends who live in Southbourne and it becomes our meeting place when I come down. It’s always busy, people love the place including me. Save this place!

Beach walking with my dog. Favourite place for coffee. Good vibe.
A supporter in Bournemouth · signed 15 hours ago
Its unique vibe, its quirky set up, the bringing together of people, the very fact it is not a swanky restaurant. Losing it would be another sign of greed in a world being destroyed by greed.

It’s one of the early opening places that serve coffee

They are community minded and the way it is set up does not overwhelm the coast which works well for the area.

Every Sunday in the summer they have a DJ with great music and cocktails. It’s a great way to spend the afternoon with friends.

It’s big part of my community. SOBO Beach currently serves as a vital meeting ground for local sea swimmers, dog walkers, veterans' support networks, and mental health groups.

Love the energy it brings all year - feels like a wonderful apres-ski place in winter, then like being abroad on a beach holiday in summer. Children LOVE it too with the bus. It’s quirky and brilliant. Please don’t get rid of it.

It's a great place to visit on the seafront. Other than the places around Boscombe Pier there is nothing else from there to Hengistbury Head
