Tips

  • Beyond Salthill the coast road is shared with traffic and can be busy and narrow in places: wear bright clothing and use lights.
  • The wind off the bay can be strong, so the ride back may be slower than the ride out.
  • Barna has cafés and pubs near the pier for a stop before you turn back.

Times and distances come from Google Maps and depend on the exact path you take. Always check opening hours and local conditions before you go. More ready-made routes.
