As a residential district, Discovery Bay is not really a major tourist destination. However, it boasts a 400m beach, a golf and marina club for members and guests, meaning that the area attracts daytrippers. It also holds a number of festivals, including most notably, Dragonboat races at the beach in May/June and a multi-cultural festival in November.
