They were mainly picked as being suitable for beach landings and being nowhere near where the Germans expected invasion.n This deception alone caused at least 3 German Divisions to be placed in the wrong area.

Where did the major allied invasion of Europe take place?
Normandy's beaches, and behind those beaches from the West, the South was covered by the Invasion through Italy, the North was attacked through Holland, and the Eastern front was attacked by the USSR.
Why did the battle of Normandy begin?
AnswerThe Germans wanted more land and they wanted to control more of western Europe, so they took over Normandy, France and then the allied forces of Australia, Canada, Belgium, France, Czechoslovakia, Greece, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States were unhappy so they invaded the beaches of Normandy. The Battle of Normandy and the D-Day invasions were part of the overall strategy of liberating Europe from Nazi rule. Europe was being invaded from the east by the Soviet Army, and from the south by Allied forces in Italy, but a more broad front was needed for the main push on Germany, and Normandy was chosen.

Why didn't they bomb the beaches on D-Day during World War 2?
Anti tank and aircraft guns. (anti tank guns could be easily converted to anti aircraft) It would been relatively pointless. Omaha beach along with all the beaches on DDAY were meant to be bombed prior to the landings but with the large amount of smoke (caused my grass fires) from the naval bombardment allied pilots could not properly identify their targets. To avoid the risk of dropping bombs short on the landing craft nearing the beaches the loads were dropped behind the beach head causing little to no damage. Utah beach was effectively bombed prior to the landings providing decent cover to troops which in turn lead to lighter casualties. This was one of the major failures on DDAY considering the size of the air strike and the planning that went into it.
