Under the background of “all-for-one” tourism, it is worth studying whether the tourism commodity industry can and how to take the path of coastal cluster. China's marine tourism alone ushered in unprecedented diversified development. Based on the evaluation and analysis of the diamond model for the development of traditional industrial clusters, this paper constructs an evaluation model of coastal tourism commodity industrial clusters that taking “consumption demand and market development” as an essential element, and makes an example analysis. Meanwhile, according to the niche theory, the principle of niche breadth and niche overlap, the niche model of strategic layout of coastal tourism commodity industry cluster is established based on the resource and environment utilization status, intracoastal competition and cooperation status and R and D innovation status. The author analyzes the industrial defects under the realistic model, and puts forward the coastal industrial development strategies of dislocation layout, niche expansion, virtual niche and niche policy optimization.
