Hoekse lijn metro station, the closest metro station in the world to the sea, has opened on Hoek van Holland beach near Rotterdam. It is only 40 meters from the coast. The architects took into account the climatic features - sand, wind, salt and sea water will not harm the station. There are several more metro stations in the world near the sea. For example, in Barcelona, Barceloneta is located about 600 meters from the water. In New York on Coney Island, Stillwell Ave is 500 meters from the ocean and Ocean Pkwy is 170 meters away.
