There's plenty to see all along the coast. Well worth a visit.
I like Arromanche; it's a good spot to base yourself when visiting the landing beaches.

Nice example of comparisons after war damage, and houses demolished in the interim years in the background at the church in St- Marcouf.

I don't know if they are still there or not but in 1971 there were plenty of bunkers along the coast of East Anglia in England
