Shoobie is the term for a visitor to the Southern Jersey Shore. From Cape May to Long Beach Island visitors are called Shoobies and from Long Beach Island north, visitors are called Bennies. The term is believed to come from the depression era to describe people who would take the train from Philadelphia area to the Jersey Shore for the day. They would bring their lunch and bathing suit in a shoe box. These people would spend very little while visiting and were mainly disliked by the locals. Today, the term is mainly a tongue in cheek term referring to anyone who does not live at the South Jersey Shore. Urban Dictionary

THE NEW JERSEY SHORE by John T. Cunningham New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press,1958 Pg. 101: Fast trains to Atlantic City, along with a one-dollar round-trip fare,created the "day tripper," and the "Dollar Excursion" unquestionably (Pg.102--ed.) gave the city its wide popularity. Throughout the 1890's and up until World War I working men had freedom to play only on Sundays. That day, week in and week out, found swaying Atlantic City-bound coaches teeming with Philadelphia families, laden with their "shoe box lunches."... Naturally not all of Atlantic City viewed the "Shoe Box Lunch Set" with favor. Keepers of the swank hotels figured anyone who couldn't come for at least a week should stay home and get rested for his job. Urban Dictionary
