About Omaha Beach
Omaha Beach is a 6-kilometer stretch of golden sand on the Normandy coast, one of five sectors where Allied forces landed on June 6, 1944, during Operation Overlord. This beach saw the heaviest fighting of D-Day, with American forces from the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions facing fortified German positions on the bluffs above. Today the beach is a peaceful public area accessible year-round, with the striking 'Les Braves' memorial sculpture standing in the sand.

The code name 'Omaha' came from a random draw of American city names, selected by a soldier from Nebraska whose hometown was Omaha. The five D-Day beaches were named after cities: Omaha and Utah (American sectors), while Gold, Juno, and Sword were British and Canadian sectors.
