The station platform is located on a narrow ledge below the village of Llanaber and immediately above a rocky beach.

January 2014 Storms

Wave damage caused 3 January 2014, 100m north of the station

On 3 January wave action washed away 300 tonnes of track bed and deposited 800 tonnes of debris on the line.[1] The line was closed for five months whilst Network Rail engineers repaired the formation and rebuilt the sea wall, with traffic resuming as far as Harlech on 1 May. Through services to Pwllheli remained suspended until 1 September due to rebuilding work on the Pont Briwet viaduct.
