Omaha Beach achieves its spot as a spiritual destination as an incredibly important historical location in Normandy, France. For those who know their military history, Omaha Beach was the location of one of the highest-casualty battles during the codenamed Operation Neptune, commonly referred to as D-Day, which took place on June 6th, 1944. Today, Omaha Beach has a memorial in honor of the brave soldiers who fought and gave their lives in pursuit of liberty and freedom. Many come to Omaha Beach to pray and thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice for loved ones back home. Although this beach is often considered a sorrowful location, visitors are encouraged to enjoy local businesses here or appreciate all the beautiful beach and this part of France have to offer. Each one of these spiritual destinations around the world is sure to leave travelers changed for the rest of their lives.
