Best Utah Beach Tours & Trips

The westernmost landing beach for World War II's D-Day on June 6, 1944 was this area along the Normandy coast of then German-occupied France. American military forces met little opposition at Utah Beach compared to the bloody battles at Omaha Beach. Both were part of five beaches code-named during the Operation Overlord assault the Allies led against Nazi Germany. More than 23,000 military men were able to land on the beach and there were 200 American casualties. Utah Beach and its surrounding area contains many monuments including the American Utah Beach Monument as well as remains from D-Day.

Guided Tour of Normandy 1-Day Beaches Day Trip from Paris with transport

A good value

This tour was a long but interesting trip. Our guide was very informative. The worst part was having to be at the meeting place at 6:30 a.m. The bus was comfortable. I would have liked to have stopped in Bayeux to see the famous tapestry.
