Cycling
The Mutton Island Causeway is an impressive causeway that juts almost a kilometre into Galway Bay. For cyclists, it's a unique "excursion" over the water: with the wind in your hair, you ride between the waves to the small island, enjoying a spectacular 360-degree view of the Galway skyline, the Claddagh, and the distant Burren hills. It's a beloved spot to catch your breath, spot seabirds, and experience the raw power of the Atlantic Ocean, far from the city traffic.
