I love this beach! Many hours spent watching the tide come in over the sandbar. If you were to do a…read moretime lapse of Guidel plage you will see the surf guard change his locations throughout the day as the tide comes to shore. See surfers taking their first lessons in the shallow waters. Don't miss the navy execute water test missions further out. Dang it where are my binoculars?! This beach is perfect for the kids! Before the tide comes in there are shallow pools which the young ones can safely play in. A little secret: the water in these pocket pools of water tend to be a few degrees warmer. I'm assuming it has to do with the current. I'll let you marine biologist address that one. For the big kids head further out and wait for the waves. You could almost time the cycles. Plenty of sandbar to nap, pic-nic, build castles or people watch.

This beach is a must see if you are a WW2 person that knows it's history and the historical D-Day…read moreevent. We got to the beach and parked our car at the designated parking lot. We then walked down to the last remaining bunker the Germans used where tho original gun is still there (obviously inactive) and got to get a view from the Germans perspective. You have to imagine being a young German solider on the hill and seeing hundreds of ships just coming at you and thousands of enemy soldiers about to run up that hill. You would definitely be pissing your pants because you knew your time was up. There was no way the Germans were going to win this battle with the amount of Americans that stormed this beach. Then you walk to the water and see the vast distance our American heroes had to trek across. I would guess the distance between the water and the German bunker lines is at least 10 football fields. It looks so much shorter in the movies. But it's much longer in reality. Definitely a surreal experience to be here at Omaha beach and see the perspective from both the Germans and the Americans.
