A shoobie (or shoebie) is a derogatory term used in New Jersey to describe a person usually from the Philadelphia area or western areas of South Jersey, who visits the seashore for a brief period of time, primarily to use the beach during the summer months. Shoobies are typically seen in South Jersey, between the areas of Long Beach Island and Cape May. The term "shoobie" originated in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, and it allegedly derives from the habit among tourists of bringing everything they needed in a shoe box. Items can include a towel, suntan lotion, and food
