Salt Water is an annual festival held in Bundoran on Ireland’s Atlantic coast, where the town’s strong surf culture meets music and art. Set beside the ocean, it reflects the rhythm of the waves and the community shaped by them. Surfing, wind, and open water define the atmosphere, with the Atlantic acting as a constant backdrop and influence throughout the weekend.
