Steenbergen's 23,970 inhabitants live in the town itself and in villages such as Dinteloord, Kruisland and Nieuw-Vossemeer, surrounded by polders and close to the Volkerak. Daily life is quieter than in Bergen op Zoom or Roosendaal, the two nearest towns with a railway station and a hospital.

By car, the A4 runs past the town towards Bergen op Zoom and northwards in the direction of Rotterdam.

Steenbergen's open polders around Dinteloord and Nieuw-Vossemeer are cycling country, and the Steenbergse Vliet runs from the town to the Volkerak. Shops, cafes and a restaurant or two sit in the center around the Sint-Gertrudiskerk.
