Bathurst is on [[Nepisiguit Bay]], which is part of [[Chaleur Bay]], at the mouth of four rivers: the [[Nepisiguit River]], the Middle River, Little River, and the [[Tetagouche River]]. Two spits of land, Carron Point and Alston Point, form the enclosure for the harbour.

The refuse facility of Bathurst is located south of the city, in [[Allardville, New Brunswick|Allardville]]. The so-called Red Pine solid waste facility provided by the Chaleur Regional Service Commission serves, in addition to Bathurst, municipalities all over north-eastern New Brunswick. The city's sewage treatment plant is located within the harbor, at the northern end of Riverside Drive, behind the Canadian Tire. City water comes from the Middle River.

Several of the [[salt marshes]] around Bathurst Harbour play host to a Chaleur Bay-specific [[butterfly]]: the [[Coenonympha nipisiquit|Maritime Ringlet]], which flies late July to late August.<ref>[http://www.cbif.gc.ca/eng/species-bank/butterflies-of-canada/maritime-ringlet/?id=1370403265682 cbif.gc.ca: "Maritime Ringlet (Coenonympha nipisiquit) (McDunnough, 1939)"]</ref>
