The purpose of this research is to identify beach type, to make a map of beach type in Wangiwangi island and to identify potential of object tourism. The metodology of this research is using field observation and the Geographical Information System (GIS). The field obervation was used to measure the beach’s width, length and slope. The tools used in research are geological compass and applicable measurement equipment. The result of field obervation was used to make spasial analysis to get Map of beach characteristic. Processing of beach map characteristic using ARC GIS 9.3. The lithology of Wangiwangi island beach is limestone, its morphology is of high relief and low relief and there are three types of its characteristic, (they are); sandy beach, sandy beach with fragment coral and cliff beach.
