Beuzeville itself is about 10 miles from Honfleur, and 18 miles from Deauville. It has the sea to the North, and the Seine estuary to the East. Although just outside the département of Calvados, the production of the apple brandy known as Calvados is also produced there, and is the reason for the many apple orchards which are a distinguishing characteristic of the surrounding countryside. Agriculture and tourism are the main industries.
