  • Changing to a new lease holder is not in the community’s interest- SOBO beach bus provide excellent pricing, vibrancy and it’s a place people plan their day around. I would be curious to know why the lease is being taken from them, and who benefits from that? Are pockets being lined?

    Roger, Southbourne · signed 2 days ago

  • Sobo Beach is a venue where I've had the best experiences, especially at the very popular Sunday Sessions with DJs including Brandon Block, Big T and Lisa Loud. The venue operators, the event promoters and various community groups have put in a lot of effort to make Sobo Beach the community asset it's become. It's important that the community views are listened to.
