Looking up the line, it is about eight miles to the next station at Herne Bay. The station was opened on 5th October 1863 by the Kent Coast Railway (KCR). The KCR was operated by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway (LCDR), which absorbed the KCR on 1st July 1871, and the station was renamed Birchington-on-Sea by the LCDR in October 1878.
