Abstract: Sanitation is still a problem for most Indonesians who have below average welfare status, especially in coastal areas where the fishing profession is dominant. The purpose of this study is to identify environmental-based health problems in the coastal area of Banyuasih Village, Pandeglang Regency, Indonesia. The method used is cross-sectional, with the unit of analysis being the household. A sample of 157 respondents was the head of the family which was taken by simple random sampling. The results of the study indicate that environmental health factors have not met good sanitation standards. These factors are garbage disposal sites, clean water sources, family latrines, and houses to live in. The conclusion of this study is that the majority of people in this coastal area still have poor sanitation knowledge and behavior.
