The study of characteristic of subsurfase Quatenary sediment of Anyer coast have been done by using the data of Ground Probing Radar (GPR) image, Surfacial Geological map around the coast and the result of core drilling. The GPR equipment which was used are GSSI SIR 20 system and GSSI Sub Echo 40 MHz antennas. The GPR data image have been processed by using Radan GSSI software, Window NTIM version. The processing including Stacking, Spatial Filter, Migration and Decompolution. The interpretation of GPR image was done by using the principle of GPR stratigraphy through recoqnize to the internal and external reflector such as reflector configuration, continoutas, reflection, amplitude, etc, Furthermore the interpretation result of GPR image are correlated with the surfacial geological map and core drilling result that have been done by previous researscher. Besed on that correlation result, the characteristic of subsurface Quatenary deposits of study area can be divided into 5 unit mainly unit A, B, C, D and E. Unit A is the uppermost layer which is charactized by clay layer and coral reff fragments. Below the unit A they are unit B, C, and D wich were characterized by intercalation between sand and clay, sand deposit or sandstone, loose to dense. This condition is shown by the SPT (Standard Penetration Test) which have range between 10 to 50 blows per 15 Cm. Based on the characteristic of GPR image and sediment deposits of core drilling, these sediment deposits are interpreted as coastal and shallow water sediment deposits. Unit E is the lowermost layer which is interpreted as volcanic deposit.
