Mascot thumb|200px|right|Sakorn, Sintu, and Samut The mascots of the Games were three sea turtles named Sakorn, Sintu, and Samut. According to the organising committee, the sea turtle was chosen as a symbol of endurance, fertility, sustainability, and growth, and to highlight sea turtle conservation efforts in Thailand, as the waters around Phuket are a habitat for several sea turtle species. As sea turtles are amphibious creatures, living both on land and in the sea, the 4th Asian Beach Games had both beach sports and water sports.
