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 1 day 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.
James, Boscombe · signed 1 day ago
It’s one of the early opening places that serve coffee
Faith, Bournemouth · signed 1 day ago
They are community minded and the way it is set up does not overwhelm the coast which works well for the area.
Jan, Southbourne · signed 1 day ago
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.

Claire, Ferndown · signed 1 day ago
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

A venue like this is great for the community as its popularity speaks for itself.

Frequent here with family and friends, despite being from out of the city. The main reason why we would venture to southbourne beach.
