Pharmacy on Ponent Beach, Salou — right on the sand

Farmàcia Arqué isn't near Ponent Beach — it's on it, at Passeig de Miramar 72. We open Monday to Saturday all year round and serve you in English, Spanish, Catalan and French with no appointment needed. On Sundays we are closed, except when the duty shift falls to us.

Directions

The only pharmacy with its door on the beach

Look for the black sign with FARMÀCIA in green letters and the orange Bowl of Hygieia to its left: that's the Passeig de Miramar 72 facade, with the white 72 plaque by the entrance, right at Ponent Beach. If you're on the sand and need sun protection, sunburn treatment or oral rehydration for a queasy kid, you don't need to cross Salou town centre — just cross the promenade.

Open late, when almost everything else has closed

Monday to Saturday we stay open until 21:00, when much of Salou's shops have already shut. It's the slot where most visitors discover they're out of sunscreen, missing their regular medication, or nursing a sunburn that needs treating before another beach day. On Sundays we are closed, except when the duty shift falls to us. The rest of the time, the Col·legi de Farmacèutics de Tarragona duty rota covers the other 24 hours — check who's on duty today on our duty pharmacy page.

We speak English, no translator needed

It's not just a sign on the door: our team has years of experience handling health questions in English, alongside Spanish, Catalan and French. We check EU e-prescriptions in whatever language they arrive in and explain dosage without anyone having to guess a word.

FAQs: location, opening hours and English
