유타 해변(Utah Beach)은 제2차 세계 대전 중인 1944년 6월 6일(D-Day) 노르망디 상륙 작전의 다섯 개 해변 중 하나에 연합군이 부여한 코드명입니다. 이곳은 전체 오버로드 작전(Operation Overlord)에서 가장 서쪽에 있는 공격 구역이었으며 코탕탱 반도(Cotentin Peninsula)의 푸프빌(Pouppeville)과 생마르탱드바르빌(Saint-Martin-de-Varreville) 사이에 위치했습니다. 오늘날 이곳은 생트마리뒤몽(Sainte-Marie-du-Mont) 관문에 있는 조용한 모래 해변으로, 역사적 기념물과 추모의 길이 풍부한 곳입니다.

Utah Beach was the first of the five D-Day landing beaches to be recaptured by the Allies. It was chosen to retake Cherbourg and its deep-water port. Several memorials along the beach allow visitors to rediscover the history of the landings.

The legendary Major Richard D. Winters, portrayed in the series ‘Band of Brothers’, is honored in bronze.

Very pretty fishing and marina port.

The original lighthouse was built in 1775 to protect the dangerous waters around Pointe de Barfleur, which were known for numerous shipping disasters, including the sinking of the "White Ship" in 1120. Since the first tower did not meet the requirements of the 1825 national coastal lighting program, construction began on a new, larger tower in 1829. Completed in 1835 under the direction of architect Charles-Félix Morice de la Rue, it replaced the old tower, which was then used as an optical telegraph. The new tower is made of approximately 11,000 granite blocks and has 365 steps—symbolizing the days of a year. It also has 52 windows (representing the weeks) and 12 floors (representing the months).

The old granite harbor is the heart of Barfleur and is still used by small fishing boats.

A beautiful little fishing village that is worth a visit.

A beautiful, expansive beach steeped in history.
