Kawasan Wisata Pantai Prigi merupakan salah satu pantai yang menjadi sasaran pengembangan wisata bagi pemerintah Kabupaten Trenggalek. Pengembangan wisata alam yang rentan terhadap adanya penurunan atau perubahan kualitas lingkungan memerlukan perencanaan pengembangan pariwisata yang sesuai dengan kapasitas ekosistem wisata atau daya dukung kawasan wisata. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk a) mengidentifikasi besaran daya dukung kawasan wisata Pantai Prigi di Kecamatan Watulimo, b) menemukenali zonasi kawasan wisata Pantai Prigi berdasarkan kenyamanan fisiologis, dan c) menganalisis adanya implikasi terhadap wisatawan di kawasan wisata Pantai Prigi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif. Metode kuantitatif digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi besaran daya dukung, menentukan zonasi kenyamanan fisiologis, dan menganalisis implikasinya terhadap wisatawan. Teknik pengumpulan data secara sekunder dan primer. Teknik pengumpulan data secara sekunder melalui olah data sekunder laporan iklim harian BMKG dan olah data sekunder jumlah kunjungan wisatawan Pantai Prigi. Sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data secara primer melalui olah data primer pengukuran iklim harian di kawasan wisata Pantai Prigi dan hasil kuesioner terhadap 145 wisatawan Pantai Prigi. Pengolahan data persepsi wisatawan diolah dengan menggunakan software SPSS. Penelitian ini menunjukkan hasil akhir besaran daya dukung kawasan wisata Pantai Prigi sebanyak 390 wisatawan/hari. Jumlah ini menandakan kawasan wisata Pantai Prigi tergolong aman dan terkendali apabila dibandingkan dengan data jumlah kunjungan wisatawan di Pantai Prigi pada tahun 2011-2016. Zonasi kawasan wisata berada di luar zona optimum, tepatnya pada zona heat dan stress berdasarkan kenyamanan fisiologis. Zona ini memiliki suhu udara antara 20-32°C dan kelembaban udara lebih besar dari 55%. Besaran daya dukung dan zonasi kenyamanan fisiologis berimplikasi pada wisatawan, baik dalam hal jumlah dan frekuensi kunjungan maupun dalam pemilihan aktivitas wisata.
