JUNO BEACH
KEY FACTS
Juno Beach stretches from La Rivière in Ver-sur-Mer (to the east) to Saint Aubin-sur-Mer (to the west) and spans 8km in length.
It was divided into 3 main sectors (from west to east) : « Love », « Mike » and « Nan ».
On June 6, 1944, 21,400 Canadian soldiers landed on Juno Beach, resulting in 1,074 casualties, including 359 fatalities on that same day.
These soldiers were under the command of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and encountered resistance from the 716th German Infantry Division.
KEY OBJECTIVES ON THE JUNO BEACH SECTOR INCLUDED :
– Establishing a secure bridgehead between Gold and Sword Beach
– Coordinating with British forces
– Seizing control of Carpiquet airfield
– Disrupting the Caen-Bayeux axis (N13)
The landing on Juno Beach was initially planned for the Mike and Nan sectors, primarily at Courseulles, Bernières and Saint Aubin. However, due to adverse weather conditions the landing was delayed, causing the Canadians to land in the wrong place.
Juno Beach was heavily fortified by the Atlantic Wall and the aerial bombardments preceding the landing were not as effective as anticipated, leading to significant casualties among the Canadian forces, the highest among Commonwealth troops.
Nevertheless, with the arrival of tanks, the Canadian forces were able to gradually neutralize German positions. They successfully linked up with British troops landing on Gold Beach.
By late afternoon, they had secured a portion of the Caen-Bayeux axis, although they later had to withdraw to the north. Despite this setback, they managed to establish a solid bridgehead extending several kilometers inland, marking a significant achievement for the day.
SITES
MY GOOD TIP
Visit the Juno Beach sector with two free Apps !
1- The « DDay App » provides free audioguides for exploring the D-Day landing sites independently. Juno Beach audioguides cover :
– Saint Aubin, Bernières, Juno Beach and the war cemetery in Bény-sur-Mer.
– Available in French and English.
– Link HERE.
2- Another free app « dansleurspas.com » offers valuable insights into D-Day events in seven towns along Juno Beach and its junction with Sword Beach :
– Courseulles, Bernières, Saint-Aubin, Langrune, Douvres-la-Délivrande and Luc-sur-Mer.
– It includes numerous testimonies from civilians and soldiers along with information on local highlights unrelated to WW2 and D-Day such as the seaside period in Luc-sur-Mer and Lalique works in Douvres-la-Délivrande…
– Available in French, English, Dutch and German.

MY SUGGESTED ITINERARY TO VISIT THE JUNO BEACH SECTOR
Here’s a list of recommended sites on the Canadian sector (the order of stops is suggested if you start your tour from Bayeux) :
1- Brèche Le Bisson in Graye-sur-Mer, WN 33a
2- Courseulles-sur-Mer
3- Bernières and Saint Aubin-sur-Mer
4- Canadian cemetery in Bény-sur-Mer/Reviers
5- Ardenne Abbey in Authie
6- Creully-sur-Seulles
1. BRECHE LE BISSON IN GRAYE-SUR-MER / WN 33a
On the coastal road D514 between Ver-sur-Mer and Courseulles, there’s a sign indicating where to turn (Brèche le Bisson). Overlooking Juno Beach, you’ll find the remains of a German casemate (WN33a) originally built to house an anti-tank gun (88mm Pak 43).
On D-Day, this casemate and its gun were destroyed by Trooper Jim Smith of the Westminster Dragoons, a tank gunner who landed west of the bunker. While the Westminster Dragoons regiment primarily landed on Gold Beach, the A Squadron was detached to support the 3rd Canadian Division on Juno Beach.
From here, you can enjoy a scenic walk along the beautiful wild beach to reach the Juno Beach Center in Courseulles (about a 35-minute walk).
** For more details on this WN and Jim Smith, visit the « Atlantikwall.co.uk » website focused on WW2 German defenses. Click HERE. **
2. COURSEULLES-SUR-MER
This port-town was heavily fortified by the Germans and stood as the most fortified area within the Anglo-Canadian landing sector. The 7th Infantry Brigade (The Regina Rifle Regiment, The Royal Winnipeg Rifles, and The Canadian Scottish Regiment) landed on the « Mike sector » (at Courseulles and its vicinity); they received support from the 6th Armoured Regiment (The 1st Hussars).
Despite facing fierce resistance from the Germans and suffering numerous casualties (due to bunkers and gun positions remaining intact from the aerial bombardments), by midday, the port of Courseulles became the first liberated port and was heavily utilized for supplying tons of materials (similar to the operations in Port-en-Bessin while awaiting the completion of the artificial harbor in Arromanches).
A Sherman Duplex Drive Bold tank is displayed in town as a tribute to the Canadian Forces. This tank, which sank on D-Day, was discovered in the sea in 1970, 2 kilometers from Courseulles and subsequently restored.
A monument dedicated to the Royal Winnipeg Rifles was erected on June 6, 1964 in Courseulles, even though they landed close to Graye-sur-Mer, one kilometer west of Courseulles. However, in the 1960s, the monument couldn’t be constructed at the RWRs’ landing spot due to the marshy ground. On June 6, 2014, a monument was inaugurated at the exact location where the RWRs and the 1st Canadian Scottish Regiment landed in Graye-sur-Mer. Both units endured heavy casualties on D-Day.
Don’t overlook the Juno Beach Center in Courseulles ; refer to the « Museums » section below for details.
3. BERNIERES AND SAINT-AUBIN-SUR-MER
The 8th Infantry Brigade (The Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada, The North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment and Le Régiment de la Chaudière) landed on the « Nan sector » (Bernières and Saint-Aubin) supported by the 10th Armoured Regiment (The Fort Garry Horse).
– Bernières-sur-Mer : the House of Canadians and WN28
At 34 avenue des Français in Bernières, you can observe « La Maison des Canadiens/ The House of Canadians » from the outside, the first house liberated by the Canadians via sea on June 6, 1944. It stands as a place of remembrance and a beautiful Norman house on the beach.
Adjacent to the house is the Signal Monument on Avenue de la Libération. This Signal Monument, shaped like a ship’s bow with a V-shaped base symbolizing Allied victory, was the first in a series of ten memorials erected along the English Channel coast, inaugurated in 1950.
Landing in Bernières
Soldiers of the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada faced heavy German fire upon landing in Bernières, resulting in around 80 casualties in less than 15 minutes. Bernières housed WN 28, a significant German stronghold comprising several casemates housing artillery pieces, including anti-tank guns, a 50mm gun, multiple mortars and other machine guns, making it a highly fortified area. Several bunkers still line the beach today.
At 220 Promenade des Français, the D-Day Memorial commemorates The Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada with commemorative plaques erected near the bunker.
MY GOOD TIP
A free App is available for discovering Bernières on D-Day !
Link HERE.
Use « Remembernieres App » to delve into the details of the landing in Bernières and follow two signposted and geolocated itineraries :
Itinerary 1 : « They landed » on the seafront promenade, featuring 15 points of interest over 3.5 km.
Itinerary 2 : « They liberated our village » in town with 16 points of interest covering 1.5 km.
Both itineraries are marked with 30 period photos, allowing you to follow signposts and understand the experiences of the soldiers in Bernières on D-Day step by step.
The app is free and does not require downloading.
Simply flash the QR codes on the information terminals to access additional information, including texts, audio, and video content.
– Landing in Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer
Once again, due to adverse weather conditions and strong currents on June 6, the Canadian soldiers of the North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment missed their intended landing area and found themselves dangerously close to a heavily fortified position, facing intense German fire. The Allies encountered in Saint Aubin a much more fortified and heavily defended area, with a larger presence of German soldiers than anticipated by intelligence services. Consequently, the Canadians suffered significant casualties.
The British troops of Number 48 of the Royal Marine Commando were scheduled to land an hour after the first wave of the North Shore Regiment, on a beach that was expected to have already been secured. However, this was not the case. They too landed under German fire and lost a quarter of their 450 commandos. Furthermore, the town had been occupied by the Germans since 1940 and they had taken over the waterfront houses to use as observation posts for the beach.
4. CANADIAN CEMETERY IN BENY-SUR-MER/REVIERS
This is one of the two Canadian war cemeteries in Normandy, the other one being located in Bretteville-sur-Laize, south of Caen.
It holds 2,049 graves of which 2,044 are Canadian. Among them, 335 soldiers of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division lost their lives on D-Day on Juno Beach. The remaining soldiers buried here perished during the initial weeks of the Battle of Normandy.
Additionally, the cemetery houses the grave of a French resistance soldier named R. Guenard who fought alongside the Canadians. His grave is marked with a grey plaque bearing the inscription « Mort pour la France » (Dead for France). This individual had no known family.
Furthermore, the cemetery serves as the final resting place for 18 Canadian prisoners who were executed by the SS-Panzer Division Hitlerjugend at the Ardenne Abbey.
5. ARDENNE ABBEY AND THE MASSACRE
Ardenne Abbey, Rue d’Ardennes, 14280 Authie (close to Caen).
Ardenne Abbey was the site of a tragic event during June 7th and 8th, 1944. Eighteen Canadian prisoners of war were brutally murdered at the abbey by the 25th Panzer Grenadier Regiment under the command of Kurt Meyer. Meyer had established his headquarters in the abbey utilizing its towers as observation posts offering an extensive view up to the coast.
Today, visitors can pay their respects at the Memorial Garden which honors the memory of these young soldiers who were executed and buried on the grounds in June 1944. Additionally, the garden serves as a tribute to all Canadians who lost their lives during the Normandy campaign.
6. CREULLY
BBC & Field Marshal Montgomery’s HQ.
Creully played a significant role during the liberation of Normandy. Liberated on June 6th by the Canadians of the Winnipeg Rifles from Juno Beach and the British forces from Gold Beach, it served as the crucial junction point between the two forces, occurring between 5 and 6 pm that day.
Following the liberation, from June 7th to July 21st, 1944, the BBC established a radio station in the square tower of the Creully-sur-Seulles castle, broadcasting daily updates on the Battle of Normandy.
Additionally, from June 8th to 23rd, 1944, Field Marshal Montgomery utilized the nearby Creullet castle (not to be confused with the Creully castle which are two distinct castles albeit located close to each other) as his headquarters, coordinating the operations of the Normandy campaign from there.
During this time, he hosted notable figures such as Churchill on June 12, General de Gaulle on June 14, General Eisenhower on June 15 and King George VI on June 16. However, after the publication of detailed photos revealing the location of Creullet castle, Montgomery decided to relocate his headquarters on June 22nd.
Creully castle
While the Creully castle is open for visits from May to September (closed on weekends), the park is accessible year-round from 8 am to 9 pm.
It’s an interesting medieval fortified castle that was modified several times between the 12th and the 19th centuries. There is a radio museum and a BBC studio has been recreated in the square tower.
Guided tours are available in French and English without prior booking.
The castle of Creulley is a private property and cannot be visited except during the weekend of the European Heritage Days each year in September (usually the 3rd weekend of this month).

The radar station
This authentic German radar station constructed between 1942 and 1944 served as one of the most critical air defense stations of the Atlantic Wall. Strategically located between Caen and the English Channel and also between Courseulles (Juno Beach) and Ouistreham (Sword Beach), this stronghold endured until June 17, 1944, despite bombings and partial destruction.
– Approximately 30 concrete structures were erected, housing a garrison of 230 Luftwaffe soldiers.
– Equipped with 5 radars boasting a detection range of 80 to 400 kilometers.
– Today, it stands as the sole site in France showcasing one of the world’s 5 examples of the Würzburg radar, known for its 80-kilometer range.
– Museum spaces housed within 2 bunkers provide insight into the station’s life, local population and the radar’s history.
