Gold Beach, Normandy beach in Ver-sur-Mer, France
Gold Beach extends for 8 kilometers along the Normandy coastline between Ver-sur-Mer and Arromanches-les-Bains, featuring sandy shores and tidal waters.
British forces landed on this beach during Operation Overlord on June 6, 1944, with 25,000 troops establishing a crucial foothold against German defenses.
Multiple monuments and memorials border the beach, including the British Normandy Memorial that names 22,442 servicemen who died during the Battle of Normandy.
