Along the Salthill Prom: Spanish Arch to Blackrock

✓ Walked by Alberto before publishing · route facts measured

Walking "the Prom" is a Galway habit. This route leaves the city at the Spanish Arch, crosses to the Claddagh and follows the seafront to the Blackrock diving tower at the far end of the Salthill Promenade, where local tradition is to "kick the wall" before turning back.

Tips

  • The Prom is exposed to the wind and rain off the Atlantic: bring a warm, waterproof layer even in summer.
  • Sunsets over Galway Bay are worth timing your walk for.
  • Walking back the same way doubles the distance; buses run along the Salthill road if you'd rather ride back.
