Sunset Bay Beach

Sunset Bay is one of the more popular Lake Erie beaches in the Buffalo area. It features a beautiful, 5-acre, clean sandy beach with lifeguards—a perfect place to bring the family. A tropical-themed beach restaurant, Cabana Sam's, features casual waterfront dining. It has good affordable food, including sandwiches, burgers, chicken fingers, wings, and more, including a Friday night fish fry. The Sunset Bay Beach Club, voted the best party bar at both the 2007 and 2008 Buffalo Music Awards, is located right next to the restaurant. It features nightly entertainment and a happy hour. The beach also has an ice cream stand, Beaches and Cream, along with a video arcade and beach boutique. - Christine A. Smyczynski
