Iconic Beaches & Cliffs

Normandy’s coastline features a diverse mix of World War II historical sites and natural geological formations. The D-Day landing beaches—Omaha, Sword, and Juno—serve as significant memorials to the Allied invasion of 1944. Further west on the Cotentin Peninsula, the landscape shifts to the dramatic Nez de Jobourg, which stands as one of Europe’s highest cliffs. The region also offers expansive sandy stretches like Montmartin-sur-Mer and the rock-studded Plage de la Vieille-Église, known for its high dunes and tidal variations.
