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. MAKE SURE IF YOU BRING YOUR DOG IT ISNT WALKING ON THE HOT PAVEMENT or I'll definitely judge you. It's hot as hellllll there. Keep the dogs at home or in your bag or wearing shoes.

Admission is very affordable--only $1 per person (I remember when it used to be about fifty cents They're typically open early morning and close around 2 PM on weekends, and they're only open on Saturdays & Sundays. What I love most about this place is the variety. There are rows and rows of vendors selling just about everything you can imagine. From fruit trees and fresh produce to yard sale treasures, mattresses, furniture, and even brand-new items it's like a giant treasure hunt. If you enjoy browsing and negotiating, many vendors are open to bargaining on prices. There are also plenty of food and drink stands if you need a snack while walking around. The restrooms are available and surprisingly clean and well stocked. Overall, it's a great place to shop, explore, and definitely get your steps in because there's so much to see. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy swap meets or bargain hunting.

I haven't been here in over 10 years! Wow this place has not changed. Great price $10 per adult and…read more$1 per kid, under 4 years old is free. Cash preferred but they take cards. 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 Bathroom is outdated, sometimes no hand soap or they run out of bathroom tissues or napkins.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.

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!

I've been a vendor in the past and always showcased our products at these type of markets in SF or LA due to the lack of them here. You've got everything from refurbished woodworks to handcrafted leather goods (notebooks, wallets, etc). Plenty of things to choose from for everyone. It seems like a fairly new spot so I'm sure more and more local artists and vendors will be showing up and making this a regular spot for the hipsters to be at.

They have almost anything you might look for at an antique store or estate sale. Many decorative rugs, books, furniture, lots of media. Just an amazing place to shop. Some of the shops have new products like watches and clothing, but it is a great adventure to just wander through the tight maze of places. Look for sales, and take pictures of the offers to take to the register. You will turn your head or turn a corner and see many eye catching items. Pricing varies from bargains to overpriced, depending on the booth. Great place to explore.

I've called multiple times only to get the runaround. I tried calling to talk to the person in charge only to be told "no". Araceli was the last person I talked to. Very rude and unprofessional. She called my wife back and inform her that a check might be ready to pick up but she needs to call after 1pm before she gets there. My wife asked the name of the owner of the business. Araceli told her that "it doesn't matter" and refused to disclose the name. We will update this post to let all know if we received the check or not. They refuse to provide proof of what the item sold for it for.

I find swap meets to be kind of entertaining. Lots of knick knacks to sort through, kids toys and clothing, random things to see, and maybe you'll find something you didn't know you were looking for. I was specifically here for the fabric, and came across a few booths selling huge rolls and cutting them by the yard for roughly $1-$3 a piece. They had a wide variety from silk to velvet to cotton to fleece to linen to glittery mesh fabrics with lots of different prints. I chose a variety of floral patterns and a striped linen fabric. There was another booth that sold huge rolls of thread, zippers, bobbins, needles etc. you name it! Bought more stuff here. Including the admission fees ($1/person), I probably spent just under $20 for a bunch of fabric and sewing supplies. Looking forward to my next trip here!!

It's very cute to stop by when I'm in the area visiting some local place in Encinitas. It's a little hard to find parking off the strip, but honestly, it's normally such a nice walk that it's hardly a bother to walk to. Dog friendly (with well-behaved owners) as are most places along the coast, and the vendors are normally sweet small business owners.
