We lived in Cherry Hill when I was a surgery intern at Cooper. IIRC when people said the were going “down to the shore” the left out “to the”. It was just down shore. “We’re going down shore, wanna come?”

It was just down shore. “We’re going down shore, wanna come?”You missed a barely-audible but essential syllable. The proper expression is, "downashore." To break it up into phonetic Philly/SJersey-accent units, daown nuh shuoor.

It’s “Down the shore.”
Or, in NewJerseySpeak, Downashore.
I have managed to avoid The Shore for years and years, preferring the woods and hills of Northwest Jersey, sitting on my deck and looking at... trees.
