LOCATION DETAILS
Filming on the beach began June 27, 1997, and lasted for two months. Machine gun positions and the massive x-shaped metal structures (dropped to prevent just such a landing) were built here. At a cost of more than $12 million, and over 11 weeks, 1,500 people, tonnes of explosives, and thousands of gallons of fake blood transformed a kilometre of the Irish beach into the bloody battlefield. The actual filming took 15 days, after which every trace of the set was removed, and the beach painstakingly restored to its previous state.
