This week, the 78th anniversary of DDay was remembered. We decided to go and have a look at Omaha Beach, the bloodies battle of all of the DDay landings.

We are making our way around all the DDay beaches and this is number 2 on our list.

On 6th June 1944, at 6.30am, American troops landed on Omaha beach to try and liberate France of the Germans. What they didn’t know, is that the night before, bombs were dropped 2km too far inland and the American soldiers did not know what they were facing until they were there. After hours of battle and blood shed, Americans finally gained an advantage and took over this section of beach.

We started in a car park right on the beach front at the main memorial (W3W ) and we walked along the beach and up to the cliff top. Walked along the ridge before depending back down to the beach. On our way, we did pass a camper van park up (W3W ). We walked back to the car park where there was a cafe so it would have been rude to have not stopped and had a coffee. From there, we headed to a network of bunkers, tunnels and cannon sites (W3W ) there were some memorials here and bunkers and tunnels that could be accessed. Its a very touching and moving area to be in, especially during the week of the DDay memorials.
