The town itself is situated on a natural harbor surrounded by dunes south side and grassy with grazing salt marsh north side. The two churches (one on the edge of the harbor, the other approximately 200 m away), corresponded to two separate parishes: Portbail (the edge of the harbor) and Gouey (more inland). It is the church of the latter who became the parish church of St. Martin.
