Normandía, mejores playas

Recentemente fui à Praia de Omaha e foi uma experiência inesquecível para mim como cidadão europeu. Foi realmente revelador testemunhar os locais onde jovens corajosos sacrificaram suas vidas para libertar nosso continente. Isso me fez perceber a imensa importância do Dia D para o mundo inteiro. Planejo voltar para explorar as outras praias de desembarque na Normandia em um futuro próximo.

Utah beach served as one of the two DDay landing beaches for the Americans. Although the number of casualties here was lower compared to Omaha beach, it doesn't diminish the significance of this place. The beachfront is adorned with several memorials and sculptures, and there is also a well-maintained museum, dining options, and restroom facilities. If you happen to be in the area, it is highly recommended to take a moment to honor the sacrifices made by those who ensured our present-day freedom.

Asnelles is a pleasant, low-key resort. It essentially shuts down at the end of August, as evidenced by this photo taken in early September. The worn British flag is even displayed upside down! The Carrefour store is well-stocked, and the boulangerie is good but closes at 1:00 PM and isn't open on Thursdays. There's a tiny market on Thursdays. The biscuit shop and tea room are good. However, there's limited choice for vegetarians seeking a good meal. Le Cale offers nothing, and O Dune Zen is overpriced, now under new management, and has declined in quality. The Italian place next door appears to be permanently closed. The best option is to go self-catering. The beach is lovely and expansive at low tide, and you can walk to the Mulberry Harbour.

Esta playa es perfecta para deportes y actividades de viento. Planeo regresar con un itinerario mejor. Además, la playa tiene una rica historia y una gran marea. Sin embargo, la falta de sol en agosto fue un poco decepcionante.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset stroll at Green Island Beach. The parking was convenient, and when the tide recedes, there is a spacious beach and numerous rock pools to discover.

Tuvimos un desayuno francés bien organizado de la panadería local mientras veíamos el amanecer en la playa. Era un lugar tranquilo a lo largo de la costa de Normandía, tal como se esperaba.
