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.

Special events and festivals:

• Dragonboat races (around May/June)[4]

At the heart of the community lies the commercial centre, DB Plaza, where residents and visitors gather for socialising or functions.

• Oasis-HK (a lifestyle/homeware shop [5])
