Clifftop site with sea views and direct access to Omaha Beach
Restaurant, bar, swimming pool, football pitch and beach volleyball
Easy access to the Normandy beaches and Bayeux Tapestry

That's one splendid restaurant terrace to have your aperitif and your supper on… set on a clifftop overlooking the beach, in a scenic wildlife haven in Lower Normandy. A path leads straight from this family-friendly site straight down to Omaha beach, best known these days as the setting of the Normandy Landings during World War II, but always a spectacular spot for Normandy sands, swimming and watersports. Paddleboarding, kitesurfing and sea kayaking are all available from the beach; if you're here for heritage and Word War II remembrance, the commemorative Omaha Beach D-Day Monument, American Cemetery and Overlord Museum are all easily accessible from the site. Camping Omaha Beach is a big site with lots to do, including a kids' club and full entertainment programme in high season. You might (sensibly) decide to spend most of your site time on that clifftop terrace overlooking the sea, but if you do seek more leisure, there's a heated pool, football pitch, beach volleyball court, pétanque court, playground and games/TV room. The site also has a mini market, and allows both barbecues and campfires.

Local attractions

Hire a bike on site to get straight out onto paths winding coastwards and inland from here, among Normandy's more than 500 kilometres of cycle path. If you're stopping off at Camping Omaha Beach on a World War II commemorative tour, the other D-Day landing beaches can easily be biked to from here. Omaha Beach D-Day Monument is three kilometres away and the Normandy American Cemetery within five. The Overlord Museum, telling the story of the landing up until the liberation of Paris, faces the roundabout that gives access to the American Cemetery. For history of a more ancient kind, the spectacular Bayeux Tapestry, telling the bloody tale of how William of Normandy became king of England, can be seen 18 kilometres away. You could also have a look at the local heritage with an afternoon at Château de Creully, 30 kilometres away, the 11th- and 12th-century castle between Caen and Bayeaux (and from where the first news of the Battle of Normandy was broadcast by the BBC journalists stationed there in 1944). Walks, birdwatching and boat trips in the Marais du Cotentin et du Bessin Regional Natural Park are 30 kilometres away.
