Latest reviews on Valognes's beaches

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.

Plage de l'Anse du Brick
8 Ethan Kessler

While it is undeniably attractive, this beach doesn't quite match up to some of the others in the Cotentin region. It lacks a certain degree of untamed beauty and doesn't really stand out from the crowd. You can park your car by the coast road and enjoy a view of the small bay from there.

Denneville Beach

Wow!
