Activity description

Get ready for an exciting adventure on the famous Omaha Beach in Normandy with a sand yacht session offered by EOLIA Normandy Omaha Beach!

This unique activity offers the perfect combination of adrenaline, nature and history. In addition to the fun aspect of the activity, the sand yacht session at Omaha Beach offers a unique perspective on the history of the area. Omaha Beach is one of the sites of the Allied landings of 6 June 1944, during the Second World War. During your session you will have the opportunity to view the remains of bunkers and fortifications that remind us of the courage of the soldiers who fought on this historic land. Whether you are an enthusiastic beginner or a seasoned tank enthusiast, this experience is suitable for all skill levels. EOLIA Normandy Omaha Beach instructors will be happy to guide you and give you tips on how to improve your flying skills!

At the start of your gliding session, you will be warmly welcomed by a team of experienced instructors from EOLIA Normandy Omaha Beach. They will provide you with quality equipment, including a specially designed sand glider. After a short introduction to the piloting techniques and safety instructions, you will be ready to launch on the beach. Once you're on board your sand yacht, you'll immediately feel the power of the wind as it pushes you at high speeds across the smooth sand of Omaha Beach. Enjoy the excitement of speed and the freedom that this unique water sport offers. You will be able to sail safely along the beach, while admiring the beautiful Normandy coastal landscape. Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience the adrenaline of speed while exploring the iconic landscape of Omaha Beach!
