A great place to visit, lots of different events going on. Lots of memorable times made there with the silent discos, yoga etc.

I live in the Midlands but stay in Dorset 2-3 times a year. Always visit SOBO when we are here. It’s always busy with a great community feel

It’s part of the community. It’s inclusive and welcoming and I visit regularly - on my own walking the dog, when friends visit and with my family.

Sobo beach is a unique and joyous pit stop on the promenade stroll. Residents and tourists love it.

I visit sobo with family every week - it brings a safe space where all people can enjoy the clean, friendly section of the beach. The SOBO site offers family friendly activities and makes good use of the beach.

Place to meet family and friends. Why get rid of something that is so loved and wanted by the community?

One of the best places in Bournemouth, for me, it’s the essence of what Bournemouth is about

It is the beating heart of a community .. no amount of funding into Council pockets can re create what we as residents … and our visitors, have here . In a town stripped of identity this gives us a sense of place and belonging .

It's not a run for tourists, maximising profits so the council can take a bigger cut. This place runs from the heart, something the council cannot quantify or understand. Keep this place alive.

SOBO- the hearth of Southbourne beach. Place where we can go even for a coffe and we are always welcoming with a nuce smile from the staffs. The transformation they have done and the atmosphere that they brings are unique. Is not so many places on the beach that brings a safe and joyful environment. They must stay!! We love Sobo ❤️

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.
