Best Utah Beach Tours in September

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.
