<![CDATA[Coastal communities represent maritime societies with distinctive sociological and religious characteristics shaped by dependence on the sea, environmental uncertainty, and continuous interaction with external cultures. These conditions necessitate adaptive and contextual models of Islamic da'wah and education. This article aims to analyze cultural da'wah practices and the adaptation of Islamic education within the maritime culture of Indonesian coastal communities. Employing a qualitative approach through library research with a socio-anthropological perspective, this study examines ethnographic literature, sociology of religion studies, and previous research on coastal societies. The findings indicate that da'wah in coastal areas develops in a cultural-transformative form, utilizing maritime symbols, local language, and traditional practices as media for internalizing Islamic values. Meanwhile, Islamic education in coastal communities tends to be flexible, occurring not only within formal institutions but also integrated into social spaces such as suraus, docks, and fishing activities. This study argues that the effectiveness of Islamic da'wah and education in coastal societies is largely determined by the ability to negotiate normative Islamic teachings with local maritime wisdom. This article contributes to the discourse on maritime-based Islamic da'wah and education, an area that remains underexplored in Indonesian Islamic education studies]]>
