Similar but on a lesser scale you've got the various landings at Gallipoli, and the landing at Tanga in German East Africa.

At least in the Western European theater, there was never a need for a beach landing and invasion during WW I. France never fell in WW I, although it was a close thing at times, and thus their Atlantic sea ports and harbors remained in friendly hands and could be used to disembark troops and materiel from the U.K. and U.S.

In WW II, France was completely occupied by Germany, as were Belgium, Holland, Denmark, and Norway, basically the entire Atlantic coast of Europe excepting neutral Spain and Portugal, and the Germans built fortifications and defenses along the coast, and controlled all of the sea port towns and harbors.

In 1942, two years before the Normandy invasions of D-Day, the Canadians attempted a landing in the sea port town of Dieppe, France, to determine the possibility of directly capturing a major harbor or port, which would make the logistics of supplying men and materiel much easier.

It was a dismal failure, and a huge bloody loss for the Canadians. The experience gained at Dieppe convinced allied leadership that a landing at a sea port or harbor town to capture a functioning port was not feasible, and instead beach landings with temporary "mulberry" harbors were used, until sea towns with harbors could be captured via land.
