Omaha Beach, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer

This was truly and incredible spot. The monument is spectacular. We loved how Omaha beach has not become developed and taken over. It was quiet and peaceful. Definitely worth the visit.

Standing on the beach and seeing what the troops needed to do was amazing. Overwhelming. How did they do it? Gun fire. Glass bombs. Big obstacles and rocks. The tide changes. Wow. Must visit.

There has been some memorial that cough me. But this one was definitely most impressive one. I'm totally from different ethnic and culture. But what has been lost in ww 2 was big. All that heroes and their stories got me. Everyone in whole Europe and world got to be appreciate to them and what they've done. One of must be seen place in the whole world. And special thanks to French government for what they've done with that great memorial Area including keeping it so clean, designing etc.👌

This was one of the most memorable and meaningful places to visit. When visiting the Cemetery it's difficult to find a way down to the actual beach and when we were there the gate was closed to the obvious and easiest way down to the beach. However, If you exit the Cemetery and past the parking lot there is a walking path off to the left that will take you directly down to the beach. Along the way are sever bunkers you can explore.

It's hard to imagine that one of history's bloodiest battle occured there. Nowadays it's an enjoyable, mundane place. You wouldn't guess 2000+ soldiers died on this beach if it weren't for all the memorials all around. Just behind the beach there's a cemetery where you can find the graves of 9000+ soldiers, remembered for decades to come.
