Normandy

If 'Normandy Beach, France' was supposed to mean the beaches of Normandy, France, ie D Day, then it would be better to say something like 'the Allied invasion of Normandy in World War II'.

I am not aware of a specific beach in France actually named 'Normandy beach'. 'Normandy' is the English word; the French word is 'Normandie'.
