Data were analyzed using content analysis on social media Instagram and Facebook on Ujung Suso Beach. At least based on the views of visitors who emphasize that Ujung Suso Beach tends to be safe because the beach is flat and the waves are not large, the beach atmosphere is comfortable because there are many facilities for relaxing and there are many trees on the beach. With these considerations, tourism products were developed that prioritized positive responses from visitors. Tourism products developed such as beach-based tourist attractions such as the provision of banana boats, sea tours and the development of local culinary specialties made from seafood.
