It was opened in 1914 by the Great Eastern Railway on its 8.5-mile (13.7 km) branch line from Saxmundham, and was closed in 1966 as part of the Beeching Axe.
As of 2016 the platform of the former station survives, just north of the B1353 road nearly a mile west of the coast. But it is overgrown with vegetation, and the trackbed is now a footpath.[1]
