Published July 3, 2017

Due to security concerns, the pathway from Normandy American Cemetery to the beach is not open to the public. However, public beach access is available nearby.

Omaha Beach can be accessed by taking D514 west from the cemetery to St Laurent sur Mer. Take the first exit at the traffic circle. This road will take you to the beach, where there is plenty of parking.

Omaha Beach can also be accessed by taking D514 east from the cemetery to Colleville sur Mer. As you enter the town of Colleville there will be a road to your left.  Follow this road all the way down to the grass parking lot.
