This is Arromanches, Normandy in France. The concrete specks off the coast are the remnants of caissons constructed during the Normandy invasion, for the sake of erecting an artificial harbor called a “Mulberry Harbor.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulberry_harbour

Mulberry harbour at Arromanches-les-Bains (Gold Beach), France.
Comment by ej | November 23, 2009
The town is Arromanches-les-Bains in the Normandy region of France. This area was “Gold Beach” during the D-Day landings in June 1944. The structure offshore is the remains of a “Mulberry Harbour” known as “Port Winston”, through which millions of soldiers and tons of material were landed to support the war effort.
