The Five D-Day Invasion Beaches

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces landed on five Normandy beaches:

• Utah Beach (US)
• Omaha Beach (US)
• Gold Beach (British)
• Juno Beach (Canadian)
• Sword Beach (British)

These codenamed sectors stretched across 80 km (50 miles) of coastline, marking the start of Western Europe's liberation.
