Soropia District holds immense potential in the tourism sector due to its coastal attractions spread across several sub-districts and villages. However, several beach destinations remain relatively unknown to tourists and the broader public. This study aims to: 1) determine the characteristics of beach attractions in Soropia District; and 2) generate a spatial distribution map of beach attractions in Soropia District, Konawe Regency, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This study employed a spatial descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through observation, documentation, and unstructured interviews, and analyzed using descriptive and spatial analysis techniques. The findings reveal that: 1) each beach attraction in Soropia District possesses unique characteristics, natural charm, and distinct advantages; and 2) the spatial distribution map identifies four unique and appealing beach sites such as Toronipa Beach, Bokori Island, Ceri Beach, and Anggalo Beach. These four destinations are distributed across three sub-districts and one village, namely Toronipa Sub-district, Tapulaga Sub-district, Sawapudo Sub-district, and Waworaha Village.
