We always go for the plants. I got 5 tomato plants and they're thriving. $4 each! Usually you can work on deals. We go to explore and get sunglasses and anything for tourists coming to visit.

PRO-TIP: BRING CASH…read more They have ATM's on site, but of course there's a fee. You need cash to even purchase tickets in, so keep that in mind. There's different prices for different days. On a Sunday afternoon, it was $3 per person. For frequent shoppers and vendors, I think they have stamp cards, which is neat. We had to speed run this trip because we had plans later on in the day, but we saw there was a swap meet across the street from the Brazilian restaurant that we were getting brunch at and nothing prepared us for how MASSIVE it is. I grew up going to swap meets, with one down the street for me, but this is hands down the BIGGEST one that I've been to. So big that my friends and I got split up immediately and it was somewhat difficult to find each other and leave towards the end since there's just rows and rows and aisles and aisles each and which way you turn with some dead ends here and there. There's food vendors and of course, lots of trinket, electronics, thrifted, home goods, and so much more. There's plants, fresh fruit, nuts, a neat little accordion (not sure what it's called but it's antique looking and little mechanical bits and pieces to it) that a performer had, jewelry, toys, video games, unique artwork, school supplies, clothes, etc. Before entering, we saw a vendor selling 6 pieces of clothing for $10. Friend got a bunch of accessories and jewelry for under $20. I got a cool 2 headed T-rex for $2. Some cool things were vintage Beanie Babies and the Panda Express restaurant signs? I would love to come back here and thoroughly parse through everything. Get there early in the morning and then spend hours here.

There are three screens; playing different movies and plenty of parking spots. They are open Friday to Sunday for the drive in movies. They also occupy this space for swampmeet on certain days. Pro: lots of parking spots, bathroom for use, snack bar (cash only); friendly staff. Con: depends on the day and movie; it can get super packed, the entrance to purchase tickets can get long and extend to the streets; can be dangerous if no one pays attention. Bathroom is outdated, sometimes no hand soap or they run out of bathroom tissues or napkins. Other than that; such a great deal for new movie releases and in the comfort of your car. You can bring snacks, food etc; I always bring a pillow and blanked for extra comfort. Make sure to bring a radio if you don't want your car battery to die. I got one from Amazon for $20; such a great bargain and great system.

What a rare gem! It is such a treat to have the last remaining drive-in theater in San Diego and…read moreone of few nationwide. I grew up going to drive-in theaters. Fun family entertainment, and it can be done on the cheap. We get out 4-6 times each year and love every time. What to know. It's a drive-in by night (Thursdays-Sundays) and a swap meet on the weekends during the day. As for movies, the drive-in is styled as a classic drive-in cinema with three screens with concessions that sells candies, soda popcorn, hotdogs and nachos with chili and cheese. I often find that people will come with their own food. As for shows, they are the popular blockbusters. The screens are of varying sizes, with the sound transmitted directly to your car stereo. The parking area is pretty spacious and kept clean, but it will get very -- and I mean very -- busy during the popular shows. Plan to be here at least 30-40 minutes before your movie starts to get through the line, get parked and set up and to get through concessions. As for the swap meet, I have never been but it looks like they have dozens upon dozens of vendors selling clothing, electronics, crafts, collectibles, etc. The atmosphere at South Bay Drive-In is casual and family-friendly, so it is great for all ages. Every so often, someone will sneak a pup in. It can get loud, with screaming children and people who are running their audio too loud. And there is the occasional person who refuses to turn off their lights during the duration of the movie (Arghhh!!! Make sure your vehicle's battery is sufficient for the duration of the film, or consider using a portable FM radio like most every single other person to avoid any issues). It is otherwise an absolutely wonderful place and a lovely pastime great for making memories.

It's a monthly event where local vendors come out to sell their hand-crafted items. Browse through jewelry, clothing, soaps, pinatas, and other vintage and re-purposed items. They even had a tarot card reader! Travel outside the lot and you'll also encounter a ton of street vendors. Get your tacos and tamals! Por vida is advertised to serve champurrado, Mexican hot chocolate in the thick form, but the tamal guy at his cart (called Tamales Pepe) served a pretty damn good version too. His chicken mole tamales at $3 each were also muy deliciosos! Such a festive & fun event! We went for their Christmas rendition called "Noche Buena" so there were lots of lights, Christmas trees, and garland everywhere. Be sure to following them on Facebook to learn about their next event. Careful with parking though; cars park in the center, turn section of the street, so travel down this road SLOWLY. Support local, support small businesses... always!
