Ireland is not known for it's sandy beaches so I think the Promenade is unique for that reason. There is so much beauty, unique to Ireland, this is just not a highlight. More

One of the best things about Galway is that you're never far from anywhere. The Salthill beach is only a 10 minutes walk from Galway. The promenade is normally busy with locals enjoying the sea air. there are plenty of great B and Bs in the area and if you're in the mood, there's amusement arcades in Salthill itself. More

This promenade is stunning in great weather. If you're a photo buff, do NOT miss the opportunity to walk along this stretch. It's about a 45 minute or so walk from the start of it to the city center but you can stretch that out quite a bit for relaxing. More
