Bangka Island was formed by collition of some block geology (terraine) in hundreds million years ago. Earth plate amalgamation driven by tectonic force that caused increasing intensity of magmatism, tin mineralation, structural geology dan metamorphic rock formed. The geological condition has attractiveness to be developed as tourism destination, and many geosite in Bangka Island that interesting and can be claimed. The best geosite that collect the highest unique geology in aspect of rocks, structural geology dan landform variety, was done. The study focused on Bembang Beach and its surrounding area in Jebus District West Bangka Region about 120 km far from Pangkalpinang City as Province Capital and it can be reached in 2,5 hours. In Bembang Beach and its surrounding area found at least 4 of 5 types of all rock formation and alluvial deposited that formed in Bangka Island are Pemali Complex Metamorphic, igneous rock Diabas Penyabung, ancient sedimentary rock Tanjung Genting Formation, plutonic rock Granit Klabat that all rock has million years old age, also young river and beach alluvial deposite.
