Salthill Beach is actually comprised of several small beaches, some sandy and some pebbly. Lifeguards watch over the water from mid-May until the end of August every day from 11am to 7pm. Salthill Beach has been a blue flag beach for nearly 10 years now, and it is the perfect place to go relax for the day. Be sure to stop by Salthill Beach during your visit in Galway and breathe in the fresh, Atlantic air.
