ha which is a coastal area about 30.6% of the total area of its territory. This study aims
to determine the potential of mangrove ecosystem ecotourism as an object, calculate the
suitability and mangrove eco-tourism carrying capacity, inventory of facilities and
supporting infrastructure in Bali Beach and create patterns of mangrove ecotourism
management at Bali Beach. Potential of mangrove obtained by transect measurements
of mangrove while the tour suitability obtained by using mangrove ecotourism
suitability criteria and supported by interviews with the community and visitors to
establish the carrying capacity of the area and the concept of management. The study

cylindrica, Rhizophora mucronata, Aegiceras corniculatum, A. Officinalis, R. stylosa,
Ceriops tagal with a population density values exceeding 1000 trees / ha. Suitability
Index tour of mangrove 69.23% at the station I Unconditional Under category, 94.87%
at station II and III to Category Match. Carrying capacity (DDK) of 8 persons / day on
the first station, 37 people / day at station II and 16 persons / day at station III. The
