Comment
Utah Beach is the name of one of the five beaches where the Normandy landings took place on June 6, 1944. The most westerly of the Allied landing zones, and the only one located in the Manche département on the northeast coast of the Cotentin peninsula, west of the Vire estuary (the other four are on the Calvados coast), Utah Beach stretches from Sainte-Marie-du-Mont to Quinéville over a distance of around 5 km, with the main assault zone at Varreville.
