The Definition of a Shoobie

The term Shoobie has been around a long, long time. It was orginally used to describe visitors, mostly from the Philadelphia area, who would come down to the Shore for a day-trip, often on a train.

In those early days, the day-trippers would often pack their lunch in a shoebox. Because of this, the Shoobie term sprung up, and started being used.

Today, the term is used to describe most any visitor to the South Jersey Shore during the summer.
