Beginning August 1, the platform on top of the Observation Bunker at Pointe du Hoc will be closed to the public due to visitor safety and preservation concerns. Access to the interior of the Observation Bunker and path around the front of the structure will be permitted. ABMC is in the final planning phases of a master plan project to improve visitor flow and protect this historic site for future generations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
