Houlgate, Coastal commune in Calvados, France

The commune stretches along the English Channel coast at an elevation of 10 meters, featuring residential areas and administrative buildings.

The settlement transformed from a small hamlet named Beuzeval with 204 residents in 1793 into a tourist destination after the railway connection in 1882.

The municipal administration publishes a local newsletter called Gazette Houlgataise every two months to inform residents about community events and updates.

The town maintains one public elementary school and provides access to healthcare services through a general practitioner for its 1,666 residents.

Seventy-eight percent of the properties in this coastal commune function as secondary residences, indicating its strong appeal as a vacation destination.
