Hyatt Regency SFO Cleans Up the Coast

On September 15, 2012, a team of Hyatt Regency San Francisco employees took to the coast to participate in an important statewide effort to keep our precious coast trash-free.

California Coastal Cleanup Day, an annual beach and inland waterway cleanup, is the state's largest volunteer event and removes approximately 1.2 million pounds of trash and recyclables from our beaches, lakes, and waterways each year.

Join Hyatt’s effort to keep it clean! Find a cleanup site near you.

Earthquake: Evidence of a Restless Planet at the California Academy of Sciences

Brace yourself for a seismic experience. Earthquake: Evidence of a Restless Planet at the California Academy of Sciences launching audiences on a breathtaking tour through space and time!

During the show, audiences will fly over the San Andreas fault before diving into the planet’s interior, travel back in time to witness both the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the break-up of Pangaea 200 million years ago, and much more. Concurrently, an 8,000-square-foot exhibit will debut in the west hall of the
Academy, featuring large-scale installations such as a walk-through model of the Earth, an enclosure for live baby ostriches (yes, there are surprising connections between earthquakes and ostriches!), an earthquake simulator resembling an old Victorian home, and an interactive space designed to teach earthquake preparedness.

Book tickets through our concierge and enjoy expedited entry to the museum!

Sure to make a great impact on the beautiful city-by-the-bay, each of the regattas is a combination of practice and championship racing, with additional practice sailing on-site ahead of each event.

And to complement all the festivities on the bay, Red and White Fleet will be cruising within close proximity to the races, which occur between Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, however there are no guarantees on the viewing opportunities. The best cruise options include the one-hour Golden Gate Bay Cruise and the new, 90-minute Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise as per the sailing times listed above.

Boarding of the cruises occurs on a first-come, first-serve basis, so passengers will want to arrive at least 30 minutes early. In addition to taking in all the action of the races, these cruises offer spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and downtown skyline.

For bookings and additional information, visit www.redandwhite.com or call (415) 673-2900.
