Potensi Wisata Bahari sebagai Daya Tarik Wisatawan di Pantai Macaronis Resort Desa Silabu Mentawai

Although Macaronis Beach in Silabu Village, North Pagai District, is well-known as one of the top surfing spots with reliable and difficult waves that draw surfers from all over the world, its marine tourism potential has not been completely realized. In light of this potential, the purpose of this study is to investigate the allure of maritime tourism in the Macaronis Resort region and how it affects visitor interest. This study uses qualitative approaches and collects data through interviews, documentation, data analysis, and direct observation. Two resort managers, two visitors, and the head of the surrounding community served as the study's informants. The results demonstrate Macaronis Beach's remarkable natural attractiveness, which includes white sand, crystal-clear seawater, and intact coral reefs. Additionally, Macaronis Resort offers a range of marine sports like surfing, snorkeling, and taking in the beautiful sea view, all of which are the main draws for guests. It also has sufficient facilities.
