South Bay Drive-In Theatre & Swap Meet

Imperial Beach, California

The South Bay Drive-In Theatre & Swap Meet is San Diego County's enduring drive-in cinema, operating three screens at the south end of the region in Imperial Beach near the US-Mexico border. A double feature is shown on each screen nightly, with adult admission at just $10 and children ages 5–9 admitted for only $1 — one of the best values in all of Southern California for families. Cash and all major credit and debit cards are accepted for hassle-free entry. The adjacent swap meet brings a festive market atmosphere before the movies begin. Sound is broadcast through your car radio on FM frequencies provided at the gate. With three screens showing current blockbusters and a full concession stand, South Bay Drive-In is the go-to outdoor cinema destination for San Diego's southside communities and beyond.
