El Torn, Blue Flag nude beach in Vandellòs i l'Hospitalet de l'Infant, Spain
Platja del Torn is a natural beach in the Rojala-Platja del Torn protected area, 1,300 m long and on average 82 m wide, with fine sand and a steep entry into the water. Dunes, scrub and pines back the sand, home to sea lily and Bonelli's eagle. At its western end rises the illot del Torn, a rocky outcrop holding the remains of the Torre del Torn watchtower.
The beach lies within the Rojala-Platja del Torn protected natural area. On the western tip, the rocky islet of El Torn holds the remains of the Torre del Torn, an old watchtower declared a cultural asset of national interest. The Associació d'Amics de la Platja Naturista del Torn was founded in 1988 and has over 600 members.
El Torn is the nudist beach with the most users in Spain, around 2,000 in July and August. The Associació d'Amics de la Platja Naturista del Torn, founded in 1988 with over 600 members, promotes it, and the nearby El Templo del Sol campsite is naturist. The composer Joan Làzaro i Costa dedicated the sardana La platja del Torn to it in 1993.
Access is difficult because of the beach's landform, so most visitors arrive on foot via the coastal path from the El Torn area; the naturist campsite El Templo del Sol stands nearby. The sand shelves steeply into the water, and the protected Rojala-Platja del Torn space limits development, so bring what you need. The western end holds the rocky islet of El Torn and the remains of the Torre del Torn watchtower.
The beach's difficult access, the work of the Associació d'Amics de la Platja Naturista del Torn (founded 1988, over 600 members) and the nearby El Templo del Sol naturist campsite make it the nudist beach with the most users in Spain: about 2,000 in July and August. The sardana composer Joan Làzaro i Costa dedicated the piece La platja del Torn to it in 1993.
