The Least Touristy of the 5 D-Day Beaches
Utah Beach的点评
点评：Utah Beach is one of the five beaches, famous as the landing sites for the WWII D-Day invasion of France on 6 June, 1944.
It is not as famous as nearby Omaha Beach, which has featured in movies such as The Longest Day and Saving Private Ryan. It's also the furthest west of the five beaches so overall, it attracts far fewer visitors and is much less busy.
Unlike the other beaches which have become popular beach resorts, Utah is not touristy or commercialised. There are no houses or shops lining the beachfront and it’s still in a very natural, undeveloped state, making it much easier to imagine the events of D-Day some 80 years ago.
There are no tangible reminders or historic remnants of the D-Day left on the beach itself but there are several memorials and monuments clustered around the sandy path that leads down to the water. In the surrounding area, you can see Allied vehicles, the remains of German bunkers and anti-landing obstacles like the infamous ‘Czech hedgehog’. There’s also a cafe and large museum (although we didn’t have time to visit this).
The short path takes you through the dunes, then the beachfront opens up in front of you as a vast expanse. It’s a long, long, flat stretch of beach with firm, compact sand. We walked along it for a while, then sat quietly in the shade of the dunes, to reflect on the events of D-Day and all that it meant.
TIPS FOR PLANNING A D-DAY TRIP:
In preparation, I bought The D-Day Visitors Handbook (by Kevin Dennehy and Stephen T. Powers) - it was an invaluable resource.
Hiring a car gave us a lot more freedom to explore the beaches and surrounds than a tour
Arromanches/Gold Beach was a great base for a couple of days. It’s the middle beach, we were able to visit Utah and Omaha on Day 1, then head in the opposite direction and visit Juno and Sword Beaches and Pegasus Bridge on Day 2. You need at least 2 - 3 days to cover just the main sites comfortably.

翻译：犹他海滩是五大海滩之一，因 1944 年 6 月 6 日第二次世界大战诺曼底登陆法国而著名。
它不如附近的奥马哈海滩出名，后者曾出现在《最长的一天》和《拯救大兵瑞恩》等电影中。它也是五大海滩中最西边的一处，因此总体而言，它吸引的游客少得多，也不那么繁忙。
与其他已成为热门海滩度假胜地的海滩不同，犹他海滩没有被旅游化或商业化。海滨没有房屋或商店，仍然处于非常自然、未开发的状态，让人更容易想象 80 年前诺曼底登陆的情景。
海滩上没有留下诺曼底登陆的有形遗迹或历史遗迹，但通往水边的沙路周围有几座纪念碑和纪念碑。在周边地区，你可以看到盟军的车辆、德国掩体的遗迹和反登陆障碍物，比如臭名昭著的“捷克刺猬”。这里还有一家咖啡馆和一家大型博物馆（虽然我们没有时间去参观）。
这条小路会带你穿过沙丘，然后海滩在你面前展现出一片广阔的空间。这是一片很长很长的平坦海滩，沙子坚实而紧凑。我们沿着它走了一会儿，然后静静地坐在沙丘的树荫下，回想诺曼底登陆事件及其意义。
规划诺曼底登陆之旅的提示：
在准备过程中，我买了《诺曼底登陆游客手册》（作者：Kevin Dennehy 和 Stephen T. Powers）——这是一份非常宝贵的资源。
租车让我们比旅游团有更多的自由去探索海滩和周边地区
阿罗芒什/黄金海滩是几天游玩的好基地。这是中间的海滩，我们可以在第一天游览犹他州和奥马哈，然后朝相反的方向前进，在第二天游览朱诺海滩、剑滩和飞马桥。您至少需要 2 - 3 天的时间才能轻松地游览主要景点。
