The aim of the present research is study the effects of climate on some activities, in connection with coastal tourism development in southern shores of Caspian Sea. In this regard, the 25-year meteorological data (1986-2010) of eight synoptic stations were used. In order to evaluate coastal resting feasibility the BCI was used and key & Vamplew model was applied to assess of sport tourism in three fields as parachute, football and Athletics (track). Validation & Comparison of thermal comfort for Mentioned activities & Analyzing of Climatic conditions for coastal development activities was conducted with wind chill index. Analyses based on the outputs of CTIS model and the zonation area was performed by IDW method. The results obtained from the BCI index showed that the appeal of Eastern shores for coastal resting compared to be more than the west one. Based on BCI and wind chill index it was found that the month of June, July and August for coastal resting are more suitable. In contrast, the western shores have better feasibility for windy sport. Although the extent of favorable areas for parachute sports on the eastern shores are higher, but the climate potential on the Western Coast is more favorable. However, the western coast compared to the eastern one have more favorable climatic conditions for the creation of coastal complexes. In general, due to Inappropriate temperature, wind speed and increase foggy, in the months of December, January and February there aren’t favorable conditions for mentioned activities in the western parts.
