History

The fortified site Site Fortifié Hillman comprises 18 casemates and underground fortifications built by German troops between 1942 and 1944. Site Fortifié Hillman was the command post for the German defenses along the coast of the Côte de Nacre. The outdoor area is open year-round.

Coast

Colleville-Montgomery beach has a natural dune; rather than a seawall, no fortified dyke was built there. It is a sandy beach used for walking and swimming.

The Espace Nautique on the beach offers courses, lessons, and equipment rental, including stand-up paddleboarding courses for beginners and advanced participants.
