You can reach the promenade from any part of the city in about five minutes by simply heading toward the water.

Salthill Promenade walk - an amazing experience for a hot summer's day or a great experience on other days - bring your bottle of water and visit all the different beaches along the prom.

Amazing place, everyone is so friendly and so accommodating. Lovely activities for the kids and only a stone throw into Galway city.

A lovely place for a walk on a summers evening, or a dip in the Atlantic. Since childhood I've always loved watching the sun going down in Salthill.

My visit to the Prom was on a cold, wet & windy day but still managed to get out and walk for a while before the rain got too heavy. It was great to be able to see the islands from the shoreline. Even though the weather wasn't great, the people I met were nice & friendly and more than happy to stop & point you in the right direction or just give a suggestion on where to visit next. I hope to visit again on a better day when I have more time to investigate.

Gorgeous place on a sunny day. Have a picnic, relax or just sit down for the view with the music ☺️ Car park within walking distance, its free but you gotta get lucky for a spot.
