Blackrock beach is generally an ultra-touristy beach, great for swimming in summer and strolling in other seasons.

Beautifully refurbished, it inspires calm and tranquility, and will enable you to spend a good time, while enjoying the benefits of the ocean.

A little further out is the Blackrock Diving Tower, where you can take a dip in the ocean. A popular spot, whatever the weather or water temperature!

In any case, Blackrock beach is a great place to stroll and admire the surrounding area, with its authentic coastline and the palpable charm of its fine sand and clear, sometimes turquoise water.

A great opportunity to discover Salthill and Galway Bay in style!
