Research on total suspended solids in the waters of Lampuuk-Lhoknga Beach, Aceh Besar was conducted on March 16, 2023. Lampuuk-Lhoknga Beach is a beach that has high activity that affects the concentration level of total suspended solids which becomes a problem for waters if the concentration level is high. This study aims to analyze and calculate the concentration of total suspended solids in the waters of Lampuuk-Lhoknga Beach. This study used purposive sampling method by taking beach water samples from several predetermined stations. Water samples that have been taken are analyzed using the gravimetric method. Based on the results of the study, the concentration of total suspended solids at 10 stations (the northernmost, Station 1 to the southernmost, Station 10) ranged from 100 mg/l to 1500 mg/l. The lowest concentration result was found at Station 4 near the cliff, which was 100 mg/l, while the highest result was found at Station 5 near tourism activities, which was 1500 mg/l. The high concentration of total suspended solids is thought to be caused by high human activity in all fields ranging from marine tourism, culinary areas to industrial areas.
