Originally established as a summer & weekend resort community in Contra Costa County, the Town of Discovery Bay is now home to just over 16,000 residents year-round. Located 60 miles inland, Discovery Bay is connected to the San Francisco Bay by the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, providing an endless playground for boating, watersports, and fishing.

The town is a "Special District" in California, meaning it was created and funded by the city's residents, provides excellent infrastructure and high-quality local services, and is run by a board elected by the voters, making it the ultimate example of small-town government. The city of Stockton lies just 30 minutes to the east, yet Discovery Bay has its own grocery and drugstores, restaurants, parks, and cafes. The town hosts a full-service deepwater yacht harbor for its residents to store their boats, and most of the homes have their own slips.

For those seeking a private, small-town feel with easy access to the water, Discovery Bay may be the place for you!

The Community

Discovery Bay is a boating and golf community, where the median age is 42 yet many retirees come here to enjoy the town's resort feel in their golden years. For families, there are three public and one private elementary school, great playgrounds, and a Parks & Rec department offering fun activities for all. With a median estimated income of $140,260, most people own their homes yet some do rent. Commuters can drive just 20 or 30 minutes to Dublin and Pittsburg, the nearest BART stations, which connect riders to the entire Bay Area.

The Culture

With its boating culture, country club, warm summers, and mild winters, Discovery Bay is all about fun and relaxation. Golfers will love the town's Ted Robinson-designed championship course, where folks can also enjoy a delicious meal with friends or family at the Discovery Bay Country Club. The club even hosts a bocce ball league, so you can join a team and meet your neighbors in friendly competition!

Boaters are out on the water year-round, the links are right at your doorstep, and kids (and grandkids!) will love the summers here. There is endless fun to be had in this wonderful community.

 

 

Lifestyle

Wake up early to watch the sunrise over snow-capped mountains while you ready your boat for a day on the water. Before you launch, stop by Callahan’s Coffee & Cones for breakfast burritos and lattes to go, or enjoy them right on the patio overlooking the slips. In town, stop by the Sandy Cove Shopping Center for groceries at Safeway, sundries and prescriptions at CVS, or drive through McDonalds on your commute to the BART station.

Pick up delicious tacos at La Taqueria Limón or yummy Mediterranean food from Gyros Cuisine, or select some choice cigars at the Cigar Loft Smoke Shop to enjoy after watching the game at the Sports Bar & Steakhouse. With great hair salons and nail spas right in town, you'll always be ready for a night at the country club. And if you've been out on the water all day, the beam of Discovery Bay's 36’ lighthouse will guide you home.
