User reviews
"This beach is just the way we like it. It's situated near a small town center, not too crowded with people, and the locals who come here are all very friendly. It's one of the few beaches on the Normandy coast that still retains its original charm, so it's become our go-to spot for a day at the seaside."
Nicolette Martinelli
"Houlgate boasts beautiful beaches and classic Norman and period architecture. There is also a quaint, small covered market in the city center, offering regional products at great prices."
