Salthill Promenade, Galway

Salthill Promenade is perhaps two miles long from one end to the other, all of it overlooking Galway Bay. A nifty 50's diving platform is open year-round; however, swimming is not recommended in this part of the bay. A great place for jogging, rollerblading or strolling with your sweetie, the Prom becomes a home to dogs and children at the weekends. On clear days the hills of County Clare are visible across the bay, and benches are provided for the lazy or contemplative.
