Normandy 1944
Utah Beach
Beach
The story
Finish on the sand. The westernmost landing beach, whose success depended on forces inland. Easy's Normandy campaign also ended here — it embarked from this beach on 10–11 July.
What to look for
Walk from the dunes to the water, then turn inland. Sea → land is the right way to close the day.
Plan your visit
Always open. Best early morning, low-to-mid tide.
