Lined by bars, restaurants, and hotels, Salthill Promenade stretches along Galway Bay. The "Prom," as the locals call it, is the longest seaside promenade in the country, attracting both casual strollers and long-distance joggers. You can reach the promenade from any part of the city in about five minutes by simply heading toward the water. As you walk or run along this sign-posted path, remember the local tradition that claims kicking the prom wall unfailingly brings good luck. Time your stroll or jog for late afternoon when the promenade becomes a prime spot for watching the sunset.

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • Beautiful area to walk around. Was there a few days ago, it was a sunny day. We also came across a lovely park with waterfalls
