Utah Beach

8 Samuel Reeves

Utah beach served as one of the two DDay landing beaches for the Americans. Although the number of casualties here was lower compared to Omaha beach, it doesn't diminish the significance of this place. The beachfront is adorned with several memorials and sculptures, and there is also a well-maintained museum, dining options, and restroom facilities. If you happen to be in the area, it is highly recommended to take a moment to honor the sacrifices made by those who ensured our present-day freedom.

Today, the beach was incredibly peaceful, with even the sea remaining calm. The play park for children at Utah Beach made for a pleasant afternoon.
