The diverse habitats of the park, the most prominent being sea grass, mangrove, mud flats and varied coral reefs (patch to fringe), support a large variety of marine species and also provides critical nesting sites for sea turtles, including loggerhead, green, olive ridley and hawksbill. The two most popular activities in the park are both diving and snorkeling, and the clarity and quality of the water and underwater life make Malindi-Watamu Marine Parks one of the top underworld destinations in East Africa for scuba divers.
