Household food security in coastal communities is influenced by complex interactions among environmental conditions, local food resources, and socioeconomic characteristics. This study aimed to examine the role of coastal environmental characteristics in shaping local food access and household food security in Pasirido, Manokwari, West Papua, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 80 household heads selected from coastal households. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results revealed that fisheries remain the primary source of local food and household livelihoods, while most households depend on purchased food as their main food source. Household food security was categorized as relatively good, indicated by year-round food availability, adequate food reserves, and regular meal frequency. SEM-PLS analysis showed that coastal environmental characteristics significantly influenced socioeconomic characteristics (β = −0.667; p < 0.001) and local food access (β = 0.795; p < 0.001). Socioeconomic characteristics had a positive and significant effect on household food security (β = 0.689; p < 0.001). However, the direct effects of coastal environmental characteristics (β = −0.247; p = 0.057) and local food access (β = 0.161; p = 0.340) on household food security were not statistically significant. The model explained 28.6% of the variation in household food security. The findings suggest that coastal environmental conditions affect household food security primarily through socioeconomic pathways rather than through direct food access mechanisms. Strengthening household economic resilience, livelihood diversification, and sustainable coastal resource management is therefore essential for improving food security in coastal communities. These results contribute to the understanding of food security dynamics within coastal social-ecological systems and provide evidence for integrated coastal development and food security policies in Papua and similar coastal regions
