Day 4 - Taking in Omaha Beach and its memorial. Continuing along the Calvados coastline, the theater for Operation Overlord, and then seeing the U.S. Military Cemetery at St. Laurent-sur-Mer.

Plenty of space. Good for parents with kids - let them roam free! Water is pretty shallow, though during low tides quite a distance away.

Andrea Cau

Omaha Beach is a beautiful place with a touching Memorial. Here there are about 9.300 buried soldiers who have participated at D-Day.

Holidaymakers enjoy the sunshine, while on June 6, 1944 US reinforcements landed on Omaha beach during the Normandy D-Day landings.

Interesting for people who are into WWII history, for the rest- a good stroll along the beach line

Vincent Gorus

Such a nice place to be! But in mind, we're all still thinking about the war. Rest in peace

Michal Švácha

Quite hard to imagine how such a place could be flooded with soldiers . It looks so peaceful and calm .

Walking these shores in person is much more emotional than seeing it on the big screen .

2. dünya savaşı tarihine ilgi duyuyorsanız kesinlikle görmeniz lazım. Amerikan askerleri için yapılan anıt mezarlıktaki savaş müzesi görülmeye değer.

Un gran "pedazo de historia " que hay que visitar

Francy

Una delle Spiagge dello sbarco, quella in cui hanno perso la vita più soldati, oggi lo si ricorda con vari musei e mausolei oltre ad un bagno in quelle acque gelide.

Fabien Muller

Très belle plage . Je recommande d'y aller à marée basse afin de se rendre compte de ce que les soldats ont dû parcourir avant de pouvoir s'abriter.

Omaha Beach, surnommée Bloody Omaha du fait des lourdes pertes qu’y essuyèrent les Américains lors du débarquement du Jour J, le 6 juin 1944.
