[edit] Raritan Bay
It says the Jersey Shore "excludes the estuaries of New York Bay and Delaware Bay." What about the beaches of Raritan Bay, espcially in northern Monmouth County near Keyport and Aberdeen?
[edit] "Shore"
Regarding In almost all cases the word "shore" itself only refers to the beaches of New Jersey, as it is almost unthinkable to refer to anything outside of New Jersey as a "shore.":
What? I don't understand what the author is getting at here. Can someone explain it? -Rwv37 19:43, May 2, 2004 (UTC)

- OK. I'm getting rid of it. -Rwv37 17:07, May 9, 2004 (UTC)
What it means is, nowhere else do people say they are going to "the shore" only in NJ do tehy call it this.
How can you say this definatively?MCWicoff 05:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shore Region
There is a new article Shore Region that was suggested for merging into this article. The article doesn't have much content and woud have seemed a likely candidate to change to a redirect. Howevere, the New Jersey article describes that "the New Jersey Commerce, Economic Growth & Tourism Commission divides the state into six distinct regions to facilitate the state's tourism industry." This might very well justify keeping it as a standalone article. Alansohn 00:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hey there, I'm the one who suggested the merge. The creator of the Shore Region article has removed the merge suggestion from that article, and left a message on my talk page. I believe that what he was expressing there was that while "Jersey Shore" is a colloquial term, "Shore Region" is an official designation with different boundaries. If my interpretation of what he said is indeed accurate, then the Shore Region article needs to have this contextual information added so others will not wonder, as I did, why that particular part of the Jersey Shore is being portrayed as distinct in its own right. If this is accurate, then the merge would not be appropriate. --Icarus (Hi!) 22:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I went ahead and did what I could after stumbling onto this controversy. Hope it is well received (Hi Alan, more work for you now! Only the Skylands Region article you wrote is extant).Rblaster 17:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

- The expanded introduction to Shore Region that Rblaster wrote cleared up the confusion I had regarding the difference between the two terms. It's now clear that they require separate articles, so I've removed the suggested merge template from this article (the other one was already removed). Thanks, all! --Icarus (Hi!) 04:01, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Destinations
I'm not sure how to best maintain this list, as I don't know where to find sources for it at the moment. However, I removed a handful of towns (such as Toms River and Wall) that are most certainly not "destinations" for anybody in the sense this article seems to mean.--Dmz5 07:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
