The Strandapotheke is one of the most popular after-beach hangouts in Maspalomas. Located right by the Faro lighthouse, this small beach bar transforms into a buzzing social spot as soon as the sunbathers leave the dunes and head back from the gay beach. From late afternoon until early evening, the terrace is packed with guys unwinding after a day in the sand.
The atmosphere is casual and fun, with music playing a big role. Expect a soundtrack heavy on German and Dutch party singalongs, the kind of tunes that get entire tables joining in. It’s lighthearted and easygoing, making it one of the most social stops in the area.
Food is another reason to visit. The bar serves hearty, carb-heavy snacks and meals that are perfect after a long day at the beach—or a long night before. It’s nothing fancy, but it hits the spot and keeps the crowd coming back. Drinks flow steadily, with beers and cocktails fueling the relaxed but lively vibe.
Strandapotheke isn’t about staying late into the night. Instead, it’s a transition space: beach to evening, sun to nightlife. For many visitors, a stop here has become a daily tradition during a Maspalomas trip.
