Solé at Woodlawn Beach

"Great state park with a beachfront. Solé is the full bar, eatery, general store and rental spaces located inside the park. Summer is the time to go, listen to free live music, shop small vendors, grab ice cream and a lemonade from local businesses in the General store and play some volleyball on the beach. I’ve attendes several weddings here from inside the lodge or right on the beach. From April to October, weddings are held on the beach. This park and restaurant has certainly become a hidden gem of Buffalo! Favorite parts: Tuesdays is WYRK country night with line dancing and a great crowd. There’s cornhole, a cornhole league, beach volleyball leagues along with other sand bar games. Combined with their specialty cocktails ‘Lardon Lemonade’ you feel like you’re on vacation, toes in the sand and bar chairs located right in the sand. Beach bar is perfect if you want to be right next to the water. Full bar and frozen drinks available. Staff was fun, knows how to pour a good drink and always friendly. Parking is free from September- June. Parking deals through NYS Parks- see their website for details."

"I definitely want to go back when it's warmer than 42° found this gem heading to Nigeria falls"

"Very nice public beach. Actual sand. Beautiful place to walk and unwind."

"One of my favorite beaches in Buffalo NY. A really nice bar, sandy beach with less rocks and debris compared to others just down the road."

"We went to Solé at Woodlawn Beach for the first time, and It was an overall good time. When arriving, there is someone in a booth that charges you to park, which was $7. The parking lot was decent size and Nicely paved but very crowded. There is a Yellow building, you cant miss that has Bathrooms in the middle, Event area, gift shop and also The Solé Bar and Grill at the back which played live music, had cornhole set up and some seats in the sand to really give you that beach feel where you can enjoy your Drinks and food. There was plenty of seating and also seats at the bar and the staff was very polite. There was also a small Merch set up of Buffalo jerseys and clothing which was cool and just had a great atmosphere.. Food was pricey and small portioned but that comes with the Location being right on beach. To access beach you can go either side of the yellow building, and they have walk pads down to help you get to the beach and also a Ramp on the one side.. The beach has A lot of Rules which can be a Hassle to some, so I'd recommend reading them before going. Which smoking, vaping, Dogs, and Alcohol I believe were all Not allowed and there are plenty of police around to enforce this. There was also quite a bit of Large dead fish on the Beach shore which is never a great View but it was an overall fun and cool place to go to if you have never. I Would recommend."
