The park preserves the last remaining casuarina pine forest in Phuket.
Mai Khao Beach, located within the park, is the longest beach on Phuket island.
The park's marine section supports a variety of coral species and seagrass meadows used for scientific research.

Sirinat National Park covers 90 square kilometers of terrestrial and marine environments on the northwest coast of Phuket. The park protects four distinct beaches: Nai Yang, Nai Thon, Banana Beach, and Mai Khao. Its coastal geography includes a dense casuarina pine forest that provides natural shade along the shoreline. The marine zone encompasses coral reefs and seagrass beds essential for biodiversity. Sea turtles, particularly Olive Ridley and Leatherback species, historically utilize these sandy beaches as nesting grounds. The park borders Phuket International Airport, with the runway located immediately adjacent to the Nai Yang beach area. Mangrove ecosystems are situated within the park's boundaries near the Nai Yang canal. It serves as a protected habitat for various crustaceans and tropical marine life. Coastal erosion mitigation efforts are periodically conducted along the beach sections.

Some sections or facilities may temporarily close during the peak of the monsoon season for safety or environmental restoration.
Cover swimwear when away from the beach; remove all trash to protect the marine ecosystem; refrain from touching coral reefs.
