It is used in New Jersey to mean going to the beach, specifically the Jersey Shore region, which includes towns like Seaside Heights, Wildwood, Atlantic City, and Cape May. People typically say "We're going down the shore this weekend" or "I grew up going down the shore every summer." The term originated in mid 20th century New Jersey regional speech, reflecting the state's geography where most residents live north or west of the shoreline, and remains a beloved local phrase, famously associated with the TV show "Jersey Shore."
