If you are on a night time tour of the island make sure you check out the Bay Bridge when the sun goes down. It was a nice night and the sky filled with reds and oranges over the bridge.
Dress Code: Maybe some warm clothes (windbraker or sweater) it can get a bit chilly at night.

Everything you need, darkness, silence, ghosts and lots of wind...bring your own CDs !
Actually at night, there are numerous boats blasting music on Friday and Saturday nights.
Dress Code: Very very warm....bring blankets and winter jacket. If you see a guy with orange pants and a stripped shirt, it might be me.

Address: Alcatraz Island....
The cell block is very eerie. You can almost feel the spirits of the past inmates. It is dark and the cells are very small and close together. Wouldn't want to be there, especially at night. There have been reports of "hauntings" in the area and I believe it.
Dress Code: Stripes?...ha ha
