Goury, Coastal hamlet in Auderville commune, La Hague region, France.
Goury sits along the rugged Norman coastline surrounded by Cadomian granite cliffs and rocky formations that provide direct access to the English Channel through its small maritime port.
The hamlet served strategic importance during World War II when Royal Air Force reconnaissance identified a German Freya radar installation in the vicinity on February 22, 1941.
The community maintains traditional Norman coastal customs through generations of fishing practices and maritime architecture that reflects regional building styles using local stone materials.
Visitors typically reach Goury via regional roads from Cherbourg or nearby towns, though amenities remain limited due to its remote location on the Cotentin Peninsula's northwestern tip.
The settlement features the Goury Lighthouse built in the late 19th century, which continues to guide vessels safely through the treacherous waters surrounding this Norman cape.
