The station is situated on the north–south coastal line and is located on the north-western edge of the town of Atlit.

Despite its relatively limited size and significance, passenger trains have been serving the station almost continuously since its opening, this is because the station is located on the main Haifa – Tel Aviv passenger line.

During the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict train service to the station was suspended after a Hezbollah Katyusha rocket hit a train depot in Haifa on July 16, 2006, killing 8 Israel Railways workers.

Approximately 35 trains per day in each direction stop or terminate at the station between 05:55 and 22:35 on weekdays.

The bus on this line runs about every 50 minutes and is not synchronized with train arrival or departure times.
