West: Galway & Mayo

View Holidays

Explore the Wild Beauty of Ireland’s Rugged West Coast

Shaped by the power of the Atlantic Ocean, Ireland’s magnificent west coast has much to thank the tireless crashing waves for. The dramatic coastline of Galway and Mayo features impressive cliffs, scattered islands, sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters, all just waiting to be explored.

Along the winding west coast, at the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way, you will also find some of Ireland’s liveliest and most charming villages and towns. Here, you can wander down quaint streets to the sound of live music pouring out from local pubs or immerse yourself in the rich history and culture embedded in ancient communities.
