Description and location of the Omaha Beach West in Vierville-sur-Mer (14710)
Our opinion on the Omaha Beach West
Omaha Beach (or Golden Beach) ends west of the town of Vierville sur Mer. Approximately 2.5 km of fine sand bordered by the road with a beach that extends considerably at low tide. The beach is supervised in the summer season and there are a few shops around the west side of the Rue de la Mer. East side, we reach the area of Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer with monuments commemorating the landing of June 1944. Despite the presence of the road, the beach is still nice. Nevertheless, Saint-Laurent is a little better equipped for walking (promenade). Parking is directly along the roadside.
