Discovery Bay

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!
