Gouville-sur-Mer, Coastal commune in Manche department, Normandy.

Gouville-sur-Mer encompasses approximately 29.25 square kilometers of Norman coastline, featuring sandy beaches along the English Channel complemented by protected natural dunes and wetland areas.

The commune was established during the French Revolution through the administrative merger of neighboring villages Linverville and Montcarville, reflecting the territorial reorganization of that period.

Local religious heritage includes the 12th-century Saint-Malo church and the 13th-century Notre-Dame de Montcarville church, which holds historical monument status for its Gothic Norman architecture.

The town hall located at 1 rue du 28-Juillet-1944 provides public services Monday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm on weekdays.

The mussel beds established in 1966 and oyster parks represent a local specialty recognized throughout the region for producing exceptionally high-quality shellfish and mollusks.
