Beach 67 St-Gaston 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 67 Street, accessed via the standard Rockaway Line Station house mezzanine that leads out to pairs of staircases up to each platform, rights towards there middles. This is also where the canopied portions of the platform are. For some reason some portions of the platform without canopies got the windscreen treatment. There is also a closed exit to 69 Street at that end of the station from the Far Rockaway-bound platform; the staircase down to street level looks intact like it could still be open.
