Taking the established nonzero value of θ_13, we study the possibility of extracting the Dirac CP-violating phase by a beta beam facility with a boost factor 100<γ<450. We compare the performance of different setups with different baselines, boost factors and detector technologies. We find that an antineutrino beam from ^6He decay with a baseline of L=1300 km has a very promising CP discovery potential using a 500 kton Water Cherenkov (WC) detector. Fortunately this baseline corresponds to the
