What to expect

You'll board a Jeep with your guide and move between the beaches and clifftop positions where the landings occurred. The guide walks you through the sequence of events—how troops landed, where they faced fire, which positions held out longest. You and your group become part of the narrative, moving into defensive posts and scanning the beaches as soldiers would have. Expect practical detail: sight lines, approach routes, the logic of German fortifications. Children particularly engage through this hands-on staging; adults find themselves thinking tactically about the terrain and decisions made in minutes that shaped history.

Good to know

Infants must sit on an adult's lap throughout. Wear sturdy shoes—you'll be walking uneven ground. The Jeep is open-sided, so bring weather protection. Tours run regardless of conditions. Book ahead for private group rates.
