CHARLIE BUNKER UTAH BEACH
Utah beach, the most westerly of the five beaches, was attacked by the US 4th Infantry Division. By mistake the landings all took place on the southern part of the beach which happened to be less well defended. Airborne troops landed through the night to secure the invasion’s western flank and to open the roads for their colleagues landing by sea at dawn. The objective was to cut the Cotentin Peninsula in two, and take Cherbourg.

There are no gates into and out of this area. The barbwire fence (for the Spenceville Area only) is there to keep vehicles out not people.

You must practice non-destructive methods for crossing it though, perhaps a thick material to avoid any scrapes or scratches, best to err on the side of good judgment.
I’ve found that if you go to the center (Between posts) you can twist the upper two strands together and push the third strand down and easily squeeze between them then return the fence to normal after I’ve crossed.
You can also find parking at 39 07.687N 121 18.513W.
