Nestled in the beautiful East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, Castro Valley has earned a reputation as a welcoming community filled with scenic outdoor recreation, excellent schools, rich history, and a family friendly atmosphere. Originally part of the historic Rancho San Lorenzo land grant awarded to Guillermo Castro in the 1840s, the community has grown from ranch land and farming roots into one of the East Bay's most desirable places to live while still maintaining its unique hometown feel.

One of Castro Valley's biggest attractions is the breathtaking Lake Chabot Regional Park. With miles of hiking and biking trails, fishing, boating, camping, and stunning views, it draws outdoor enthusiasts from all over the bay. The community is also known for its convenient location, giving residents easy access to hot spots like San Francisco, Oakland and Silicon Valley, all while enjoying a quieter suburban lifestyle.

For years, Castro Valley has been recognized for its strong sense of community. Local businesses thrive because residents genuinely enjoy supporting independent shops that bring something unique to the area. It's this spirit that makes Castro Valley such an exciting place for new businesses to call home.

And now, there's one more reason for people to talk about Castro Valley. Orbit Skate is officially opening its second location very soon!

For years, Orbit Skate has built a reputation for offering exceptional customer service, premium skateboarding products, professional body piercing services, and one of the most unique shopping experiences around. Now, that same Orbit experience is coming to Castro Valley.

The new location will feature a full service skate shop stocked with complete skateboards, decks, trucks, wheels, bearings, shoes, apparel, safety gear, and accessories from many of the biggest brands in skateboarding. Whether you're buying your very first complete or upgrading your current setup, the knowledgeable staff will be ready to help every step of the way.

But Orbit Skate has always been more than just a skate shop. The Castro Valley location will also include private piercing rooms staffed by experienced Industry Professionals dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and high quality piercing experiences. Customers will find an incredible selection of premium body jewelry, including implant grade titanium, gold jewelry, and countless styles designed for every piercing and personal aesthetic.

Of course, shoppers can also expect the signature Orbit collection of one of a kind gifts, collectibles, accessories, apparel, and exclusive finds that have made Orbit Skate a destination people love to visit.
