The Omaha Beach scene was filmed at Curracloe Beach in Ireland, as filming at Normandy was not an option for several reasons. Although Curracloe resembles Normandy in most important aspects, the actual D-Day landings were timed with the low tide and thus the German bunkers were roughly 800 yards from the water. It's important to stress that using Curracloe's shorter beach was a conscious and pragmatic decision by the film crew, and not an "all too common trap" they fell for, as some critics have claimed.
