Best D-Day Beaches to Visit: A Complete Guide

The five D-Day landing beaches stretch across 50 miles of the Normandy coast. Each tells a different part of the story of June 6, 1944.

Omaha Beach

The most famous and most fiercely contested beach. American forces suffered devastating casualties here, making it sacred ground for US visitors.

Utah Beach

The westernmost American beach, where the landings went more smoothly than at Omaha thanks to strong currents pushing troops to a less defended area.

Juno Beach

The Canadian beach, where the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division advanced further inland than any other Allied force on D-Day.
