OK, I am not hoping to be the same. But does someone go to that beach, or I will find myself alone on a deserted beach?

you could (you're only 15 kms from the channel) but the beaches are completely different from Nice unfortunately... Rather stay in Nice too to be honest..:-)
P.S. you will have a lot of space to yourself..:-)

Well, It is not like in the south of France, but you will be in a place full of History and Walking along Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword Beach's is lovely.
You can also spend your time going into some museums in this area.
Here are some nice places to see :

The "Memorial of Caen" is not really good but you can still go there is you like.
French People in Normandy are Lovely and will be very happy to tell you all those historical stories.
I hope all those information will help you to get a nice summer in Normandy.
Bon Voyage !

At least, there is sand in the beach near Caen and you do not have to worry so much about skin cancer...

In summer the beaches are full of people, children playing, swimmers, sailcars, and other tourists come to enjoy the sun and the sea. Unless of course the weather is bad.

Caen is a long way from the sea.
