Salthill Promenade - Kick the Wall

What not take a stroll along the iconic Salthill Promenade and Kick the Wall just like the locals do!!! The Salthill Promenade (The Prom) takes you along the shores of Galway Bay past a number of beaches to Blackrock, where it is customary to Kick (tap the wall with your foot) the wall. The Prom holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Galway. Everyday people set out along the prom to breath in the fresh sea air of Galway Bay and get some excercise. It’s hard to beat Salthill’s location. Situated on the northern inner shore of Galway Bay, the Aran Islands are visible to the right and Galway City 'The City of the Tribes’ to the left. Directly across Galway Bay is the Burren (County Clare) and to the west are the bogs and mountains of Connemara. On a clear day you feel as though you could reach out across the bay and touch the Clare hills though there are also many days when you can’t see them at all.
