Beaches around the corner

The one aspect that EVERYBODY in Egg Harbor Township can agree is one of the township's best selling points is its close proximity to all the beaches. EHT is about 20 minutes from some of the Jersey coastline's most beautiful beaches. No need to rent a beach house when you live that close to some of the best beaches in the country.

Then there's the other side. There were quite a few things that people don't find appealing about living in EHT....

The road quality

To be fair, this is New Jersey, so doesn't everybody complain about the roads in their town?

The traffic

There's no getting around that one. The traffic is inarguably annoying in Egg Harbor Township depending on the time of year. That can usually be blamed on one thing...

Shoobies

People from EHT say they hate when all the shoobies invade for the summer. That's fair considering there can be less products readily available at the grocery store, the parks and rec areas are busier than usual, and as previously mentioned, traffic can get pretty nuts. Let's not forget, though, that tourism is what Atlantic County's economy depends on. So, be nicer to the shoobs, would ya?
