The beach is named after the 'siriúba' tree (Avicennia schaueriana), a species of mangrove that thrives in the local estuary environment.
The beach serves as a nesting point for sea turtles during specific reproductive seasons.
The seabed composition shifts between fine sand and rocky outcrops, which helps maintain water clarity during calm weather.
The beach is located within the Ilhabela State Park area, which enforces strict environmental regulations regarding coastal development.
Praia da Siriúba is a northern Ilhabela beach characterized by its calm, shallow waters and a mix of sand and smooth river stones. The beach is protected by a small bay, creating favorable conditions for stand-up paddleboarding and swimming. Its shoreline features several oceanfront beach clubs and restaurants that cater to visitors throughout the day. Kitesurfing enthusiasts frequent the area when northern winds are active. The beach is accessible via a path that passes through private properties and hotel grounds. Unlike the busier beaches on the southern side of the island, Siriúba maintains a balance between infrastructure and natural surroundings. The beach is prone to sand flies, a common occurrence in this part of Ilhabela.

Bring insect repellent, as the beach is known for high concentrations of sand flies (borrachudos) common to the northern part of the island.
Wear water shoes, as parts of the shoreline and seabed contain river stones that can be slippery.
Arrive early during summer weekends to secure parking, as the street access is extremely narrow.
Do not attempt to park large vehicles on the narrow access roads, as turning around is difficult.
Casual beach attire is acceptable, but cover-ups are required when entering beach club restaurant indoor areas.
