Sirik County (Persian: شهرستان سیریک) is in Hormozgan province, Iran. Its capital is the city of Bandar Sirik.[2]

There are two main types of hara and Chandelle forests in Khoreh Azini. A salt-tolerant tree known as the hara absorbs seawater during high tide and, thanks to its purifying properties, excretes the salt through its bark. The hara forests have grown to a size of about 500 hectares close to the village of Ganari. The coexistence of two plant species, mangroves and Hara, along with the rare Chandelle species, makes these mangrove forests distinct from other muddy habitats along Iran's southern coasts. Numerous animal and plant species can thrive in these forests thanks to the ecological circumstances that govern them, and many birds winter here.
The tourist village of Kuhestak is located in Sirik County. This old port town has sandy beaches and is one of the tourist-friendly areas in the region. The establishment of fishing shelters and the presence of fishing and commercial vessels are among the advantages of this area.
The presence of sandy beaches between Garuk and Sirik, as well as the construction of a multipurpose port in Sirik, have consistently attracted many tourists and visitors to the natural attractions of the sea and the beach throughout the seasons.
