Abstract
This research was carried out in the Reusam Island Tourism Area, Aceh Jaya, with the aim of knowing the specific carrying capacity of the Reusam Island coastal area. Biophysical primary data and slope levels are obtained through measurement and direct observation. Reusam Island has an area of about 22 hectares, which is divided into 4 regions, a shrub area of 14.22 Ha, rock cliffs covering an area of 4.63 Ha, in addition there is also a fishing area of 1.71 Ha, and a sandy beach area as an ecotourism area during this area of 1.4 Ha. Based on the analysis of the beach carrying capacity of Reusam Island, the maximum number of visitors in one day is 264 people, this shows that the carrying capacity has now been exceeded by the number of visitors on Sunday, this will certainly have an impact on environmental degradation such as environmental pollution.
