The terminus is at the end of the predominantly single-track Lübeck–Lübeck-Travemünde Strand railway between Lübeck Hauptbahnhof and Travemünde.

A special feature is the clock tower, which includes a departures board that is visible from the beach and shows the time of the next service to Lübeck Hauptbahnhof.

The floor was renewed to the original design, masonry and glazing was removed from the steel truss, automatic doors were installed and the toilets were made accessible for wheelchairs.

The costs amounting to €2.3 million were contributed by Deutsche Bahn, the Federal Government, the city of Lübeck, the state of Schleswig-Holstein, the Possehl Foundation (Possehl-Stiftung) and the Charitable Association (Gemeinnützige Verein) of Travemünde.

On 12 March 2015, Deutsche Bahn announced that it would sell of the station building and justified its intention on its current poor condition, which made it difficult to find tenants.
