Salthill
- Once a small seaside resort 3 km west of Galway city, Salthill is now an important suburb of the expanding city.
- Salthill seems to have grown as a result and, today, it is one of the premier seaside resorts in Ireland.
- While it may have lost some of its simple, rural charms, it has gained a wealth of amenities in the process.
- The giant Leisureland complex, with its host of childrens entertainments, including an indoor heated swimming pool, proves very popular, especially when the weather acts the spoilsport, as it will do at times here in the west.
- The golden half-mile pubs and restaurants also play their part by day and discos and musical pubs rule the roost at night.
