This fabulous community place us responsible for the regeration of the southbourne crossroads area. This is now a vibrant commjnity. Sobo beach is one of the best places on the planet. It's just simply fabulous. We are very lucky and won't know how lucky until it's gone.

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.

Community

It’s a fabulous vibrant, community, dog friendly facility enjoyed by many people across all age ranges throughout the year. The community is at the heart of everything SOBO beach does (it is not driven by corporate enterprises seeking huge profit margins) hence the reason for its rich diverse approach and profound success.

SoBo Beach has done so much to bring our community together , such a shame that BCP are compelled to chase revenue over community value.

An incredible hub for both locals and tourists. Losing this would have a massive impact on some many parts of our community. Money shouldn’t mean everything, don’t take this away from us!

We live in branksome and still come all the way over to sobo for the coffee, the people, the vibe. It's my favourite spot.

It’s an awesome venue for an enture cross section of the community, and in fact IS the community. It needs to stay open!!

It's a hub for a local running club, I go regularly for coffees and food and it's an institution of the SoBo community.
