President Barack Obama plans to visit the New Jersey shore next week to inspect hurricane-ravaged coastal areas as the state’s tourism season begins.

Governor Chris Christie, 50, a Republican seeking a second term in November, will join Obama on the May 28 tour, according to a White House official who asked not to be identified because the trip hadn’t been formally announced. Shore communities have been rebuilding since Hurricane Sandy swept through Oct. 29, leaving a trail of death and destruction.
