L'Hospitalet de L'Infant may vaguely sound like the name of a children's hospital, but it is actually the name of a small coastal resort town located 40 kilometers southwest of Tarragona and 150 kilometers southwest of Barcelona. Playa del Torn is a long beach just south of town, and its entire length of 1.5 kilometers is designated for nude bathing. A small cove—Cala d'Oques—that is around the bend from the north end of El Torn is also visited by nudists.

El Torn is a broad, sandy, scenic beach backed by a long band of pine trees and the coastal mountains. The northern third of the beach abuts the facilities of El Templo del Sol, a large naturist campground and resort. The southern end of the beach is heavily gay.

El Torn is one of the largest nude beaches in Spain. While it is quite popular, it is so big that it never feels crowded. Most visitors are naked. The beach is equipped with showers, umbrella and chair rentals and a beach bar that serves food and drinks.
