The French people have maintained the name "OMAHA" for this beach in memory of the troops that fought and died here.
The beach has no commercialisation on it, the whole area is serene, you feel as though you shouldn't walk on the beach, in-fact no one seems to. Below the bluff is a coast road along which are many memorials.

Memorial of the 29th. Infantry Division.
United States Army
World War 11.

The French Memorial at Omaha Beach.
These memorials are of a standard design and are situated at each location of a Major Battle

"29th. LET'S GO!" 

Overlooking Omaha Beach, the American cemetery contains 9,386 graves, each one with a cross perfectly aligned. The cemetery is on a 170-acre plot which is conductive to meditation and remembrance. There is a chapel and memorial within the grounds.
