The objectives of this study is to build a sustainable model for Depok Beach, to estimate the behaviour of the management system, and develop a strategy to promote the maritime economy in the. System dynamics was used for modelling the management strategy. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with related stakeholders. The results showed that Depok Beach will continue to attract more tourists until 2030, but a decrease in visitor numbers is expected to occur after that. It is due to a decrease in the attractiveness value of the beach. Meanwhile, a comprehensive and integrated approach of policy implementation scenarios is needed to yield significant results.
