Cycling
De Salthill Promenade, affectionately known by locals as 'The Prom', is a delightful two-kilometer flat cycling route directly along the Atlantic Ocean. As you cycle along this wide path, you'll enjoy an unobstructed view of Galway Bay and the distant contours of the Burren. Don't forget to honour the local tradition: at the end of the promenade near Blackrock, give the wall a 'kick' for good luck before taking a deep breath of the fresh sea air by the iconic diving tower.

The Salthill Promenade runs from the suburb of Salthill to downtown Galway. It leads along the Atlantic Ocean, so you can always find places to stay and let the view wander over the sea.
