Welcome to Discovery Bay

Discovery Bay’s motto is “Live where you play,” and it certainly measures up to it. Discovery Bay was established in the early 1970s as a mostly weekend and summer resort community. Today, Discovery Bay has evolved into a thriving year-round home for over 14,000 residents who enjoy small-town living against the backdrop of over 1,200 miles of Delta waterways.
 
Many area residents enjoy docks right in their backyards, making it easy to cast off for an afternoon of watersports or lunch at a nearby seafood shack.  Boaters can navigate from Discovery Bay to San Francisco Bay, enabling residents to go anywhere in the world from their backyard. Whether you enjoy fishing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, or simply exploring the California Delta, there is no shortage of things to do here. If golf is your preference, the Discovery Bay Country Club is your place.  With a challenging Ted Robinson-designed championship course, the course will keep you challenged with every stroke.
 
Boasting a full-service deep water yacht harbor with a fully stocked chandlery and marina shops, two shopping centers, three public schools, and one private school, Discovery Bay provides a variety of commercial and retail outlets and dining opportunities throughout town.
 
Discovery Bay enjoys a wonderful spectrum of seasonal climates including everything from warm summers to temperate winters.  Best described as a maritime suburb, it’s just far enough from things to have a country feel, with bountiful farmland nearby.  The laid-back vibe and unbeatable lifestyle make this delta town a desirable place to tie up.
