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.  Approximately 60% of Discovery Bay homes are located in the original part of town, while the remaining homes are in Discovery Bay West.

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.

Boaters can navigate from Discovery Bay to San Francisco Bay, enabling residents to literally go anywhere in the world from their own 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.

Discovery Bay enjoys a wonderful spectrum of seasonal climates including everything from warm summers to temperate winters.
