ReplyDeleteChandipur could be more likely considering the sea retreated too much from the shore

ReplyDeletethis is Omaha beach in Normandy. I think this photograph was taken from a German built bunker on the coast.
ReplyDeleteArromanches, Normandy, France
ReplyDeleteThat guy who said normandy has got my vote.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the houses, sparsely laid out along the beach and also have that typical european feel. Vehicles on the beach that look like they have a purpose for being there and mostly, NO LITTER[so this cannot be an Indian beach] :).
Virginia beach, and you went with Sonia Gandhi to hide her wealth there.

The reason you didn't get the prize was... there were at least two correct answers posted a few hours before your post!
