Shoobies

Shoobie is a New Jersey, Delaware, and Southern California slang term for a tourist who visits the seashore for a day (a daytripper) or summer-only residents. Shoobie is used in the Southern New Jersey coast (along with other parts of the east coast), and resort towns in California. The term is also used to describe daytrippers on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. A similar term is benny, which is mostly used in the Monmouth County and northern Ocean County resort towns of the Jersey Shore.
