Utah Beach was the first of the five D-Day landing beaches to be recaptured by the Allies. It was chosen to retake Cherbourg and its deep-water port. Several memorials along the beach allow visitors to rediscover the history of the landings.

Further along, we come across the old railway line, still in tourist use between Carteret and Portbail. A green path like a billiard table, with fine cinders, no holes or tree roots.
