Sword Beach is approximately 8 miles (13 kilometers) long and is located on the Normandy coast of France. It was one of the five landing zones during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, where Allied forces, primarily British troops, landed. The beach stretches from the town of Ouistreham in the west to the town of Lion-sur-Mer in the east. Its strategic significance and historical importance mark it as a key site in World War II.
