Panggang Island in the North Thousand Islands District is an area with high marine tourism potential, supported by the presence of coral reefs, mangrove ecosystems, and local maritime culture. However, tourism development in this area still faces various challenges such as limited infrastructure, a lack of supporting facilities, low transportation accessibility, and a lack of tourism promotion. This study aims to identify the potential and constraints of marine tourism on Panggang Island through qualitative descriptive analysis, based on four main variables, namely attractions, amenities, accessibility, and ancillary services. Data were obtained through field observations, documentation, and interviews with local communities. Meanwhile, the data analysis method used qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that Panggang Island has marine tourism potential with various tourist attractions, namely natural, cultural, man-made, and tourist activities. Natural tourist attractions include beautiful beaches and coral reefs; man-made tourist attractions include floating houses and floating cages. Cultural tourist attractions include seafood cuisine and fishing traditions. Tourist activities on Panggang Island are also quite diverse, such as fishing and snorkeling. In addition, there is also potential in amenities such as public toilets, security posts, health centers, mosques, prayer rooms, food stalls, electricity and internet networks; good accessibility; and ancillary services such as tourist information and support services. However, marine tourism on Panggang Island still faces several obstacles, such as a lack of professional management and interpretation of attractions; limited amenities that are not yet able to fully support the optimal development of marine tourism; limited sea transportation to Panggang Island due to specific hours for crossing and returning to the port; and the absence of a tourist information center or official tour guides who can provide education or guidance to visitors.
