Omaha Beach
8 Rami Tervo

This beach is truly unique, offering a fascinating blend of historical significance from the war era and breathtaking natural beauty. I took a refreshing swim and found it to be one of the finest beaches, despite the absence of showers or toilets. There were not many people swimming, but the beach itself had a lovely sandy shore and shallow waters.

While the beach has pebbles and rocks on both sides, it still retains a pleasant and uncrowded atmosphere, allowing for a direct life on Chausey. Although it may not be the ideal spot for diving, the view is still breathtaking.

Plage de Courseulles sur Mer (Juno Beach)

Plage Dragey-Ronthon

Who doesn't enjoy the combination of sun, sea, and sand? I went to this beach during late winter and it was a delightful day. It seems like there will be more amenities available as the season progresses, such as drinks. We didn't spot any restrooms, but we may have missed them. It's an excellent spot for walking with your dog and for yourself, just make sure to pick up all waste. However, there's a shortage of bins which could be an issue. On the bright side, parking is free and it's a well-liked destination.
