Instead of its beautiful view of the beach, the mangrove's itself have potential to be developed as ecotourism spot for those who are interesting in a special adventure. The objective of the research was to identify mangrove ecotourism potential and assessment its suitability as ecotourism in Tuada Beach, Jailolo, West Halmahera. The research method was by mapping, weighting and scoring variables, continued with overlay analysis. Variables of the assessment were mangrove density, thickness and variety, accessibility, slope, and freshwater supply. Slope data were generated from map contour, while freshwater supply, accessibility, and mangrove variables collected with field surveys. Results showed that mangrove thickness was suitable. It has a flat slope, which very suitable for ecotourism. Tidal range varies between 3-1.7 meters which suitable for ecotourism, while water supply located for 0.1 – 0.67 km from the area and it's considered suitable for ecotourism. This area has good accessibility. For the density of mangrove varies between rare until very dense, while its variety consists of 8 species. Tuada Beach has the potential to be developed for mangrove ecotourism, as its suitability varies from moderate suitable (S2) to highly suitable (S1). For its potential and suitability, the facilities need to improve as this beach recommended for ecotourism spot. Yet, in some part of the area need cultivation, so that the conservation of the mangrove could've sustainable.
