Galway Beaches Go Accessible | Galway News

Galway’s beaches are getting a major accessibility boost with a €25,000 investment in beach wheelchairs and storage at Salthill and Silverstrand, part of a national €400,000 government initiative to make coastal spots more inclusive. Meanwhile, Galway City Council is rolling out pilot mobility mats at Ballyloughane and Silverstrand to smooth sandy paths for wheelchairs and mobility aids. The Irish Wheelchair Association is supplying lighter, easier-to-handle mats and sharing technical specs, while a dedicated working group will manage setup, safety, insurance, and environmental compliance. Council staff are also reviewing existing ramps to ensure seamless access — a holistic push to make Galway’s beaches truly welcoming for all.
