“Live Where You Play” is the motto of the Town of Discovery Bay, CA. This is one of the truly unique water-oriented recreation areas of the world! With its own deep water yacht harbor and access as well to over 1,200 miles of Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta waterways, this is a boater’s paradise!

Many houses have their own private docks. From here boaters can cruise from their own dock to San Francisco Bay. It is said that Discovery Bay residents can go anywhere in the world from their own backyard!

There’s no shortage of water related activities! Fishing, wakeboarding, and waterskiing are just a few. If you prefer land oriented activities such as golf, those, of course, are available too!

Located in far eastern Contra Costa County, accessible via Highway 4, Discovery Bay was founded in the early 1970’s primarily as a resort community. It was built on a network of man-made dikes and is nearly surrounded by fresh water. Today this is a year-round small town home for over 17,000 residents.

Amenities of the town include two shopping centers, three public schools, and one private school. There are many dining opportunities as well as retail and commercial outlets serving the residents and visitors.

Being at the far eastern end of Contra Costa County puts Discovery Bay right in the middle of farm and ranch land. Close by are wineries with wines produced from old established vineyards. Nearby farm stands provide fresh, inexpensive locally grown produce.

A drive to the east from Discovery Bay on Highway 4 will take you to the Interstate Highway 5 connection and access to just about the whole state. A drive to the south on J4 will take you to Tracy and connections to points like the Livermore Valley, San Francisco Bay Area and even Los Angeles. A short trip to the west will take you to Brentwood, Oakley, Antioch where there are more shopping and other commercial service opportunities and another route to San Francisco Bay. Go north from Oakley and you can drive the beautiful Delta all the way to Sacramento!

Discovery Bay’s climate can be described as temperate with warm dry summers and mild winters. The warm summers see the gathering for the annual spectacular July 4th fireworks show. The not too cold winters see a tremendous gathering to watch the famous annual Christmas time lighted boat parade.

Yes, small town living can be fun! Check out Discovery Bay and see for yourself!
