The station is an unstaffed halt on the Cambrian Coast Railway with passenger services to Harlech, Porthmadog, Pwllheli, Barmouth, Machynlleth and Shrewsbury.

The station platform is located on a narrow ledge below the village of Llanaber and immediately above a rocky beach.

[3] The line was closed for five months whilst Network Rail engineers repaired the formation and rebuilt the sea wall, with traffic resuming as far as Harlech on 1 May.

Through services to Pwllheli remained suspended until 1 September due to rebuilding work on the Pont Briwet viaduct to the north at Penrhyndeudraeth.
