Wavecrest-Beach 25 St is a standard Rockaway Line elevated station. It has two side platforms on the two-track line. The stations exits are to all four sides of Beach 25 Street, accessed via the standard Rockaway Line Station house mezzanine that leads out to pairs of staircases up to each platform, at almost their western ends. This is also where the canopied and windscreen portions of the platform are, from the western end to a bit before the centers. The eastern end of the platform is a nice gentle curve with just a low-fence with nice views of the surrounding neighborhood, and unusual round topped lampposts along the edges of the platform.

Rebuilding: The station was completely rebuilt between 2009 and 2011 along with every other stop on the Rockaway el. This rebuilding included replacing the original windscreens with green and cream full-height ones beneath the platform canopies and unfortunately replacing the original low fences with modern full-height mesh windscreens at the ends of the platform. To allow this rebuilding to occur Far Rockaway-bound trains skipped the station from September 8, 2009 to January 25, 2010 and Manhattan-bound trains skipped from September 7, 2010 to January 28, 2011.
