The park lies in a transition zone between the single wet season experienced on the east coast and the double peak of precipitation found along the south coast of the island. Mean annual rainfall varies between approximately 900mm in the south to 1300mm in the north, with an extensive period of drought from May to September. Hence it is the best period to visit the park. Mean annual temperature is 27'C.

The park comprises coastal plain with a number of scattered inselbergs, associated with which are a number of caves and pools. There are also several fresh water lakes and brackish lagoons. Most of the park underlain by the vijayan series, a variety of lower palaeozoic gnessic rocks formed about 600 million years ago.
