The station was built between 1961 and 1963[1][2] and sits on the Sochi–Adler section of the Tuapse–Sukhum railway. The station has three tracks, all of which can serve electric locomotives. There are three platforms connected by a pedestrian subway tunnel. In 2012 the station was renovated and now has carriage-level platforms and mobility access.
The station is situated next to the beach and partially under the coastal highway.
