# Why People Are Leaving Cities for the South Jersey Shore

DANIEL RALLO I SOUTH JERSEY SHORE REALTOR on Instagram: &quot;The case for trading the city skyline for a front porch at the South Jersey Shore.

Comment GUIDE and I&#x2019;ll send you my Moving to the Shore Guide.

Here&#x2019;s the thing about the shore.

You don&#x2019;t give up the good stuff. You just trade the traffic for this:

- Morning coffee on the bay at Bay Buzz in Margate (&#064;baybuzzmargate)
- A second cup later from Ventnor Coffee (&#064;ventnorcoffee), no line, no rush
- A quick drive to the beach instead of an hour stuck on the expressway
- Dinner at Red Room Cafe in Ventnor (&#064;red_room_cafe), the homemade Italian hidden gem locals keep to themselves
- Date night at Bocca in Margate (&#064;boccanj)
- Sunset cocktails on the bay at Catch in Longport (&#064;catchlongportnj)
- Ice cream runs to Margate Dairy Bar &amp; Burger (&#064;margatedairybarburger), a shore tradition since 1952
- An afternoon browsing the racks at Knit Wit in Margate (&#064;knitwitmargate)
- A yard, a garage, and neighbors who wave

This isn&#x2019;t small town boring. This is the shore on a regular weekend.

If you&#x2019;re thinking about making the move, comment GUIDE and I&#x2019;ll send you my Moving to the Shore Guide.
