East Lombok Regency has different beach variations from the north, middle, and south in terms of its constituent material. The beauty of the beach in East Lombok District has not been well managed and developed so that it is less developed than the other beaches in Lombok Regency. Therefore, a preliminary study is needed in the development of coastal tourism in East Lombok Regency. The initial study that needs to be done is the land suitability of coastal for tourism and swimming in East Lombok Regency. Parameters used for land suitabiliy coastal for swimming consist of 10 parameters, coastal typology, beach width, depth of water, bottom of water, current velocity, beach slope, water brightness, land cover, hazardous biota, the depth material of the waters, and availability of fresh water. Parameters for land suitability of coastal for tourism consisting of 8 parameters, the depth of the waters, the type of beach, the width of the beach, the depth material of the waters, current velocity, brightness of the waters, dangerous biota and availability of freshwater. The land suitability class is divided into four classifications, namely highly suitable (S1), moderately suitable (S2), marginally suitable (S3), and not suitable (N). The beaches studied are Labuan Haji, Pink, Gili Kondo, Gili Petagan, Gili Kapal, Surga, Rambang, Lampu, and Gili Bidara. The results of the study of coastal land suitability for tourism and swimming are expected to be the basis for the development of coastal tourism in East Lombok Regency. The results of land suitability for tourism in Labuan Haji Beach are included in S1, Rambang Beach S2, Pink Beach S1, Lampu Beach S1, Surga Beach S2, Gili Petagan S2, Gili Bidara S1, Gili Kapal S2, and Gili Kondo S1.
