There is no way in hell that Gritty doesn't call that "the shore", because that's where Philadelphians go to swim in the ocean.

Yeah, "Gritty down the shore" is what this needs to be called.

The shore is in New Jersey, whereas the beach is in Delaware.

Couldn't say, we were an Ocean City NJ family. Same rental house, same week every year.

I grew up in DelCo and live in Delaware now. I always found it funny that you knew which state someone was going to based on whether they said “the shore” or “the beach.” Also, the pronunciation of Newark is different for Delaware and New Jersey: NewARK for Delaware and NewERK for Jersey.
