Sunset Bay is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Hanover in Chautauqua County, New York, United States. The population was 660 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Sunset Bay CDP, New York )〕 Sunset Bay is partially on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. The portion on the reservation was previously home to a community of approximately 80 non-native residents who leased vacation homes in the hamlet. The Seneca Nation in 2012 declared the longstanding presence of the non-native residents an "illegal occupation" and drove them out of Sunset Bay.〔Herbeck, Dan and Kathleen Ronayne (July 28, 2012). ("Senecas plan to evict Snyder Beach residents" ), ''The Buffalo News''. Retrieved July 28, 2012.〕 ==Geography== Sunset Bay is located on the shore of Lake Erie in the northernmost point of the town of Hanover and of Chautauqua County. It is bordered on the northeast by Cattaraugus Creek, which enters Lake Erie just north of an embayment called Sunset Bay. U.S. Route 20 and New York State Route 5 pass through the community as Main Road. Just east of the community is a short connector road from US 20/NY 5 to Exit 58 on the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90). The city of Dunkirk is to the southwest of Sunset Bay, and Buffalo is to the northeast.
