I swim and have coffee here

Such a amazing place for all age groups any time of the year from every walk in life. Why would you consider changing anything when it works so well. It is a thriving business keeping a area crime free and bringing so much pleasure why change it other than pure greed.

It’s grown organically around the needs and wishes of the community. The beach does not need another blingy development that doesn’t have the community at its heart.

Well run venue what’s not to like. We need to keep businesses like SObo Beach .
David, Bournemouth · signed 1 day ago
It’s our coffee stop on dog walks, our sunset drinks spot and a place to bring visiting friends for lunch. But more than that it is a hub for the community, always a lovely atmosphere and full of people enjoying themselves. It would be an enormous loss for the area .

I must use the beach/ sea/ SOBO itself three/ four times every week- it’s a hub of the local community

It's a great place to meet friends, especially in the winter when all the tourists have gone.

I gig here every summer - it is a gorgeous venue with a real community spirit. If it closes I will also lose a regular income and live music is really important in Dorset. This venue deserves it lease renewed to these wonderful owners.
