Salthill is Galway's seaside neighbourhood, a 2-kilometre promenade along Galway Bay where the local tradition of kicking the wall at the end of the prom and swimming at Blackrock diving board has been a Galway institution for generations. The promenade looks across the bay to the Burren in County Clare and the Aran Islands, and the sunsets over the Connemara mountains are extraordinary. Hotels in Salthill offer a seaside base just 3 kilometres from Galway city centre with easy access to the promenade, beaches, and the regular Aran Islands ferries.
