Marine tourism development in the coastal area of Cirebon City is done by making the concept of Water Front City. This coastal development is a sustainable development, which is a broad and long-term development that involves several stake holders in the city of Cirebon, namely the Cirebon City Government, the private sector and the Community. This study uses qualitative research methods by examining the role of government in marine tourism development policies in the city of Cirebon. The research focuses on assessing aspects of policy implementation in the form of communication patterns, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure within the Cirebon City Tourism Office with data sources in the form of interviews, observation data in the Cirebon City marine tourism area, documentation study data in the form of policy documents at the Cirebon City Tourism Office. The data were then analysed using triangulation techniques followed by thematic narrative preparation. The research produced a synthesis in the form of the implementation of the construction and development of marine tourism in Cirebon City as a Water Front City has been carried out in accordance with Cirebon City Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2020.
