Hello, as the beach itself is very long (kilometers) you can choose a suitable point (nearest sea) (we drove by car, so easy to choose the best suitable for us), and went back (up) towards monuments, visitor center etc. Be aware that sea water level, it's safe only when water level is at it's lowest (low tide). Coastal local road (narrow roads) are quite near sea, and there are certain walk traps,,, but eg. wheelchair would be difficult to use. At low water times sand is easy to walk, I'll try to send one photo of that.

Pointe du Hoc is the place to go first. Prior to your visit go to uTube to watch Reagan’s 1984 speech “the boys of Pointe du Hoc”. Our cemetery also overlooks Omaha Beach. Another must visit. If you want to take sand from Omaha the tourist shops sell small glass containers.
Hi, I will be travelling to Normandy with my reenacting group for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. I'm wondering is it possible to get on to the beach at 06:30 or are the beaches closed for dignitaries that day ? We would only want to be there for about 30 minutes, hopefully long before any remembrance events begin.

There was no time limit that we noticed. The beach was open to all
