An optical information reproducing apparatus and an optical information reproducing method using the same are provided. The optical information reproducing apparatus includes: a reference beam providing unit (100) which inputs a reference beam (R) to a reproduction recording area to be reproduced and a peripheral recording area around the reproduction recording area on an optical information recording medium (1), a peripheral beam detecting unit (200) which transmits a reproduction beam reproduced from the reproduction recording area in response to the reference beam and detects a peripheral beam reproduced from the peripheral recording area, a tracking servo unit (300) which analyzes optical information of the detected peripheral beam and controls a tracking position, and a reproduction beam detecting unit (400) which detects the reproduction beam having passed through the peripheral beam detecting unit. Accordingly, it is possible to judge a current tracking state using the peripheral beam and to perform a tracking servo control process using the judgment result at the time of reproducing optical information.
