This article is the result of the study entitled, Economic and sociocultural impact of sun and beach tourism in the Gulf of Morrosquillo subregion of the department of Sucre - Colombia, and its objective was the contextual analysis of said impact based on the practices and modes life of the communities or natives dedicated to tourism. For this, a qualitative approach was chosen, under a field work and of a phenomenological type that allowed the application of an economic and sociocultural characterization questionnaire to a non-probabilistic sample made up of 135 heads of household distributed as follows: Municipality of San Onofre (25), Municipality of Coveñas (38), Municipality of Santiago de Tolú (72). As a result, it is found that the most significant impact of sun and beach tourism on coastal communities is the change in their productive vocation. It is concluded then that the support to tourism as a sector of the economy of the region is fundamental for the improvement of the quality of life of the communities. Likewise, it is concluded that, in cultural matters, the natives identify their cultural values ​​and recognize them as tourist attractions. Finally, in social matters, the precarious conditions of coexistence are the most relevant obstacle in the development of an effective trismus and beach industry.
