Amazing views – simple amenities
Omaha beach: landing zone WW2
Allowed to stay overnight
The steep cliffs boast great views on the bridge structures on the beach at low tide and floating in the sea. There is a paid parking area (10€/24hrs) on the cliff next to the 360° cinema/movie theater, some amenities are there but not in great condition. The view tough is amazing and overnight stay is allowed.

War history fans – this is a must visit!
More than 75 years later, the remains of these harsh fights are still visible in the war cemeteries and the provisional bridge constructions in the sea.

If windy, stay more inland
If the conditions prove to be too windy, we recommend staying a bit more inland. Camperspot La Ferme du Clos Tassin is a good alternative 15 km further in Collevile-sur-Mer. This is also a convenient location for visiting the very well kept and huge Normandy American cemetery (9386 graves!) and look at the Les Braves sculpture at Omaha Beach.
