Omaha Beach

This historic beach was the primary point of landing on June 6, 1944, for the entry of American forces into World War II and saw some of the most intense fighting in the entire war.

I am so happy I took time from our holiday to visit Omaha Beach, its so much more stunning and impressive in person, the sea views are stunning, the cliffs, the nearby quaint town, the art and sculptures, this is one special and unique place in the earth I would suggest all take time to visit.

Juno Beach

Reviewed By DiggoryLondon

Visited this beach in recognition of the 75th anniversary. To stand on the beach and then visit the gun emplacement brings home just how exposed the Canadian troops were. 45,000 Canadians lost their lives during the war 359 on D Day - thank you.

Plage de Trouville

Reviewed By mariedesjardins - Prince George, Canada

Spent an afternoon on this long stretch of white and beach in Trouville-sur-Mer in July 2019. There were some cabanas and rainbow coloured umbrellas dotting the beach. Short walk from the cafes and Monoprix. There is a small counter service to buy snacks and waster. Facilities were clean. There are beautiful historical homes bordering the beach and a nice wooden boardwalk.

Plages de Houlgate

Reviewed By MarieHerminedeLPZC

I love Houlgate - beautiful beach, lovely Art Deco houses behind the beach, unlike other beaches nearby you can't hear the cars or the road. Absolutely ideal with children

Plage de Cabourg

Reviewed By 87wendywoo - Southampton, United Kingdom

This is such a beautiful, immense beach. A great place for the family or just a beach walk on a windy day. This year we saw horse riders enjoying the riding on the beautiful sand and trotting through the waves at the water's edge.
