Long Beach is the terminus of the Long Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located at Park Place and Park Avenue in the City of Long Beach, New York. Though originally built in 1880, much closer to the Atlantic Ocean than the present station (the site was surrounded by Broadway, Penn Street, Edwards Boulevard and Riverside Boulevard), the present depot at Park Avenue was built in 1909, and was renovated during the end of the 20th Century. There are three island platforms with four tracks, plus several storage tracks, and a bus depot adjacent to the station building.
