It spans from the borders of Haiti to Punta Rucia in the Dominican Republic and covers an area of 550 km. The park includes coastal lagoons, beaches, mangrove swamps, and a 237-meter (777-foot) limestone mesa. From the top of the mesa, visitors can see offshore keys and the forested slopes on its northern side.

The area receives very little rainfall, getting just over two inches of rain each year. The large mesa supports a native plant species called sabia montecristini and several reptile species. There are no marked trails or paths within the park.
