The objective of this research is to diagnose and analyze the current situation of the tourism potential of the Ponta de Pedras community in Santarém (PA) through the business method of SWOT analysis. The community is located approximately 35km from the center of the municipality of Santarém, west of the state of Pará. The access to the beach in the community happens in two ways: by land, through the Everaldo Martins Highway 23km and 12km on unpaved road, and waterway, by the Tapajós River. We used in this study: field research, bibliographic and documentary research. For the elaboration of the SWOT matrix, it was necessary to establish the parameters observed in the community during the research, for further analysis between strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats. On the horizontal axis, strengths and weaknesses were positioned; on the vertical axis, opportunities and threats. From there, there was the correlation between the areas (social, environmental and economic). Regarding the negative points, there was a lack of basic requirements such as sanitation, health and infrastructure, among others. Regarding SWOT analysis, these requirements are precarious or not insistent. There was a lack of planning and disregard for investment in tourism in the community. After the SWOT analysis, it was possible to outline strategies that make it possible to promote sustainable local development and new tourist routes so that it can develop tourism and the community economy. Also subsidize support for implementing environmental conservation programs for sustainable tourism.
