Normandy’s Historic Landing Beaches
The D-Day invasion beaches in Normandy mark the sites where Allied forces landed on 6 June 1944 in the largest amphibious operation in history. Stretching along the northern French coast, Utah and Omaha were assigned to American forces, Gold and Sword to the British, and Juno to the Canadians. Today, these once-contested shores are peaceful and reflective places, home to memorials, museums and cemeteries that honour the courage, sacrifice and determination of those who helped liberate Europe.
Remeberance
Visit the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking Omaha Beach, where rows of white crosses honour more than 9,000 U.S. servicemen who fell during the D-Day campaign. Alternatively, the Canadian Cemetery at Bény-sur-Mer provides a peaceful and respectful place of remembrance for the Canadian soldiers who gave their lives in Normandy.
Arromanches and the D-Day Lifeline
Arromanches was vital to the success of D-Day as the site of the Mulberry B artificial harbour, built by the Allies in June 1944 to land troops, vehicles and supplies after the invasion. Remains of this remarkable engineering project are still visible offshore, symbolising the ingenuity that helped sustain the liberation of Europe.
German Defences
The German battery at Longues-sur-Mer, part of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, fired on Allied forces on D-Day. Neutralized by naval bombardment, its preserved gun emplacements today offer a striking glimpse of Normandy’s wartime defenses.
