<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential implications of coastal tourism in the southern region of Yogyakarta and to analyze the sustainability of its management based on the four pillars of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are two findings: first, how coastal tourism objects in the southern region of Yogyakarta benefit the environment and surrounding communities; second, how the life cycle of tourism destinations in the southern region of Yogyakarta. The Jungwok Blue Ocean destination is located right on the coast. The main findings were identified based on direct observation of the Jungwok Blue Ocean destination, interviews, visual documentation, and group discussions. The study used a sustainability approach with a phenomenological paradigm. Qualitative data were processed using SWOT assessment and analysis. The results of the study show that tourist destinations in the coastal area of Gunung Kidul have a significant contribution and impact on coastal tourism development, including increasing the economic value of the surrounding community and local government revenue. The high number of tourist visits during certain seasons causes piles of trash to accumulate at the location. Findings show a negative impact in the form of high environmental vulnerability for tourists, communities, and surrounding destinations. Based on the spider diagram, it is recommended that the government pay attention to environmental risk mitigation factors, collaboration between destination management stakeholders and local governments, synergies with local communities, local entrepreneurs, and communities involved in environmental management and wastewater management. This study is far from perfect due to scientific limitations. This study is far from perfect due to scientific limitations. The researchers hope that other researchers with various fields of expertise will continue this work, including those in the fields of environment, marine science, medicine, and management.]]>
