Access is limited to 2 meters. After the barrier, the “road” is very poor, but then you are right in front of and beside Omaha Beach.Translating
Height is limited to 1.85 meters.Translating
Once past the barrier, the path has enormous dips and bumps. Although we are used to rocky roads, we did not want to venture there with our extended chassis. A little too “risky” for a simple small sandy parking lot.Translating
Very peaceful place. Direct beach access. There were three vans staying overnight. In the morning, the coastal warden came by and only commented to one of us who had set up a rooftop tent. No bins or toilets. Please avoid giving poor ratings simply because access is limited to vehicles under 2 meters.Translating
Arrived, but there is a barrier prohibiting access to campervans.Translating
Excellent spot by the beach, at the foot of Colleville cemetery.Translating
July 11: Parking spot for lunch facing the sea. Feet in the sand, at the foot of the dunes. Warning: the road to get there is full of potholes.Translating
The spot is indeed superb; we spent the night there, but in the morning the coastal conservation authority told us that we were not allowed to sleep there. So it is only suitable for spending the day.Translating
Overnight stays are prohibited in the parking area. A little higher up, you can park and spend the night in front of the American cemetery.Translating
Good, well-located parking area. Limited by a 2 m barrier. The path has large potholes; it would be good if it were repaired when the weather improves.Translating
Spot below the American cemetery with direct access to the magnificent beach. The parking area and path are very busy during the day, but also in the evening and morning.Translating
Seaside parking below a famous World War II monument. Only for vehicles under 2 m. The parking area is full during the day but much quieter in the evening, when only vans remain. Fairly flat parking area. No services (please pick up your rubbish). Be careful on arrival, as the path is in poor condition.Translating
On Omaha Beach itself, with a 2 m height restriction. Our van fit through and we spent the night. Because of the height restriction, only vans can enter.Translating
Perfect. Beautiful sunset.Translating
Excellent place Quiet and clean Please try to keep it that way In the morning, a few groups come to visit the D-Day landing beach, which is quite normal. We recommend it.Translating
Uneven but absolutely gorgeous place at the foot of the beach.Translating
Great location with a view of the sea from the back of the parking area. You can walk to the American cemetery on the hill. Be careful, the path is rough for about 50 m on the way there.Translating
Sea view if you park at the back of the lot. Very quiet in the evening. Popular parking area during the day! No services or bins.Translating
Very nice parking area! Very quiet and well maintained. Please keep this place clean, as there is no bin. The sunset and sunrise at this historic site are wonderful.Translating
Nice spot, very quiet, right by the sea. At 1.97 m high, we just managed to fit underneath. The only drawback is lots of dog and human feces in the surrounding meadows. Please take your own and your dogs’ waste with you! That keeps this beautiful place clean!!!Translating
Very nice, but the barrier is now only 1.9 m because the road underneath has been raised.Translating
Very good location. Very quiet. And a superb view of the beach.Translating
Superb view, and the place is quiet. As mentioned in other reviews, there is a 2 m height barrier at the entrance. Around 9 a.m., vans arrive to take tourists to visit the D-Day landing beaches.Translating
