This is our go to part of the beach, we love Sobo Beach because it’s rough and ready and relaxed. It’s got a unique vibe that we love. I’m not interested in any high-end swanky places on southbourne beach.

It's a great place for families. It's a welcoming atmosphere and it's affordable (unlike other places on Bournemouth beachfront!)

It’s a fantastic community space, it’s unique and a great place to socialise. It has something for everyone, it is a great concept and a huge benefit to not only Southbourne but the wider conurbation.

We love to visit and its a reason why we travel to the area. Please dont change it.

SoBo really is one of the best businesses BCP could ask for! It’s just so warming to be somewhere that fits in with its environment and community rather than another beach side commercial venture for the few. It’s a special place I love to go every week, especially now with my puppy.

arts , crafts Yoga, running, dancing, eating , drinking, nature, all thes aspects of positive life SOBO is the core. Why on earth would you disrupt a business that is needed and actually used ! BCP needs more of these successful businesses.

I’ve been very lucky to play Sobo a few times now and every time I come down to DJ, you can tell it’s a family affair. So many people come down every Sunday afternoon for a boogie. All friendly people just wanting to have a great time. Without this, the culture in BMTHis gone. What the council and government officials forget is that music really is a healer and going out and being social is good for everyone’s health (mentally and physically). Sobo has actually helped me! Sobo is legendary! 🙏❤️

It is a great commity hub, always busy and friendly. Many groups use it for exercise and wellbeing meet up. It's relaxed atmosphere is great for Southbourne, we don't want a high end expensive restaurant

Sobo Beach is my go-to place, a real gem that holds a special place in my heart. ❤️ There’s just something about it that brings a sense of peace, happiness, and connection. It’s one of those places you keep coming back to, where you can unwind.
Bettina, Westbourne · signed 1 day ago
A great community group for yoga and coffee with friends. A place that everyone can enjoy, not just for people that can afford it (unlike Rockwater who charge for the privilege)
