The beach was empty and there were no Germans in sight. However, upon checking my battle map, I realized I may have gotten the date wrong as it was marked as 1944. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

In 1944, this beach was the site of a significant event in history, as UK & US troops landed here to liberate Europe from fascist Germany. The beach and its museums are definitely worth a visit, even if swimming is not on your agenda.

Among the 50-mile stretch of Normandy coast targeted for landing, there were several beaches assigned with code names such as Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. The beach between Pouppeville and La Madeleine, which spans three miles, was assigned to the U.S. 1st Army, 7th Corps. This particular beach, like many others along the coast, has a significant place in history.

I had a fantastic time at this beach and loved the atmosphere. It was also interesting to note the absence of German tourists. Additionally, the significance of D-Day added to the historical value of the area.
