Werkendam is situated on the left bank of the river Boven Merwede, kilometre indicator 961.4 at the split of the river Beneden Merwede and Nieuwe Merwede. There are three harbours: the Beatrix harbour, the Biesbosch harbour and the Bruinekil harbour.

The harbours are mostly used for repairs to the inland shipping.

Here you can also find two drinking-water wells, the first one at the concrete jetty and the other one at the discharge quay.
