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.
