The station was opened on 10 October 1867 by the Cambrian Railway Company as Dyffryn.[1]
The station once had two platforms and was a passing place for trains between Harlech and Barmouth. There was a goods yard to the east of the station.[2]
On 1 July 1924 it was renamed Dyffryn-on-Sea.[1] The station was host to a GWRcamp coach from 1934 to 1939.[3][4]
On 1 June 1948 was renamed to its present name.[1] A camping coach was also positioned here by the Western Region from 1956 to 1962. In 1963 the administration of camping coaches at the station was taken over by the London Midland, there was a coach here from 1963 to 1964.[5]
The station was destaffed when the passing loop was taken out of use in 1968. The redundant track remained in place until 1980 as did a signal that had been converted to a fixed distant. All trains now use the down platform. The station building on the up platform is today a dwelling.
In 2016, The Welsh Government funded the installation of reinforced glass fibre 'humps' on the platforms to improve access for wheelchair and pushchair users onto and off trains.[6]
