Beach 25 St-Wavecrest (A)

Home<N.Y.C. Subway Stations<Beach 25 Street-Wavecrest

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.
