At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 3,640 in 640 households, when it was capital of the former Biyaban District of Minab County. The following census in 2011 counted 4,140 people in 920 households, by which time the district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Sirik County. Bandar Sirik was transferred to the new Central District as the county's capital. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 5,137 people in 1,182 households.

The Minab River empties into the sea near Sirik, and a mangrove estuary is located here. To the northwest along the coast to Bandar-e-Abbas, there are thousands of hidden caves and valleys dotted around the horn of the Strait of Hormuz.
