Once a small seaside resort 3km west of Galway City,
Salthill is now an important suburb of this expanding City.
Salthill seems to have grown in importance as a result and,
today, it is the premier resort 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 children’s 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
of casinos, pubs and restaurants, also play their part by
day and discos and musical pubs rule the roost at night.
