Lhoknga Beach is a coastal tourism area in Aceh Besar Regency with marine tourism potential, including beach scenery, surfing opportunities, proximity to Banda Aceh, and local economic opportunities. Recent studies on Lhoknga and comparable Indonesian coastal destinations emphasize the need to integrate infrastructure, zoning, disaster mitigation, community participation, environmental sustainability, and collaborative governance (Sumarto et al., 2022; Mulyawati et al., 2023; Fadlurrahman et al., 2025). This study aims to descriptively examine the potential, management conditions, challenges, and development directions of Lhoknga Beach as a sustainable marine tourism destination. The study applies a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, documentation, and interviews as the field-data collection design, while journal articles published in 2022–2026 are used to strengthen interpretation. Data are analyzed through data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and SWOT mapping. The descriptive findings indicate that Lhoknga's main strengths are its natural attractions, surf characteristics, accessibility, and local economic opportunities, while key challenges include amenities, waste, safety, zoning, community capacity, institutional coordination, and marketing. Priority strategies include carrying-capacity-based management, facility and safety improvements, community empowerment through CBT, zoning, product diversification, digital branding, collaborative governance, and data-based monitoring.
