    This station offers numerous amenities. Here are a few:…read more 1. Beach Passes: You can purchase beach passes here on weekends only. Much as changed on the beach; money is no longer accepted to buy $15 day pass. L.I.R.R. stopped offering Beach Getaway passes. You can download Yodel app that accepts Mastercard or Visa for payment. Or.. you can buy them here. 2. There is a taxi service conveniently located outside station. 3. Eating: There are a wealth of restaurants near the station. A few faves are ROC and Olive, Cha Ba, Brands deli ( great eggs) and Corazon de Cuba. The Starbucks here is one of their top locations IMO. 4. Beach Access: The station is @8 minute walk to the beach. There are numerous access points. I enter beach via Edwards Boulevard. This entrance is near Rip Tide cafe if you want to eat on the beach. 5. Transportation: There are numerous NICE buses that can take you around Long Island, especially if you want to go to the Roosevelt Field mall. Public transportation is highly recommended because finding a parking spot is difficult. 7. Lodging: There are numerous hotels to stay within walking distance. There are Air BNBs you can also rent but do it before summer season starts. 8. Shopping: East and West Park Avenue have some nice shops. 9. Waiting Area: you can purchase L.I.R.R. tickets here. There are restrooms, a small snack bar but no live agent to speak to. 10. JFK airport: it's @20 minute ride from Long Beach to JFK Airtrain which is very convenient and less expensive than taxi. And there you have it!

    It is a great option to get to Long Beach by LIRR. From Jamaica Queens station get into Long Beach…read moretrain then get off the last station, walk through Edward Blvd about 10 minutes, will reach the Beach.

    This is main hub for the LIRR and you can pretty much catch any line on the LIRR. Theres a huge…read morecatwalk that connects all of the tracks so you can wait in that area until you know which track your train is on. There are monitors as well. The platforms having indoor areas which are heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. You can also connect to the subway, Air Train and buses to all over Queens from here as well.

    I am no stranger to the New York City area as I have visited here several times in the past…read more However, this was my first time at the "Jamaica LIRR (Long Island Railroad) Station". Located roughly 4 miles north of John F. Kennedy International Airport and in the heart of Queens, this is one of the major transfer points to get into through the city and the neighboring boroughs. After a long (5+ hour) flight into JFK Airport, I took the Jamaica AirTrain (from JFK to the LIRR Station). And this was around 11:30pm Eastern Time. However, once we arrived at the station, I used the MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) app that told us exactly where to go. There were even a couple of employees that told us how the payment system works (which was $10 per person as of October 2025). Once we actually arrived to the Jamaica LIRR Station, I must say that this place has a very stark uninviting look to it. Definitely one that I would recommend avoiding during the wee hours of the night. However, there were other "tourists" waiting to connect to Penn Station which all New Yorkers know is in the heart of Manhattan. I only know this since they had several carry-on pieces of luggage as well. The reason for the three stars? This station wreaked of urine and sweat. And if that's not enough, I saw a gentleman urinating directly on the tracks. But the icing on the cake was seeing a big rat crawling on the side of the tracks. Seeing this may make your stomach turn upside down but this is a big metropolitan city and you must expect the unexpected. I am also from a big city (San Francisco) so witnessing this did not gross me out that much. All in all, the "Jamaica LIRR Station" leaves a lot to be desired. But I highly recommend coming here during the commute times or at least before 10:00pm when the vast majority of the general public is already at their destinations. However, the ticket information employee was helpful as well a local that told us exactly which train to take to get to Manhattan. With that said and done, I am giving this subway station just an average three stars.

    Train stations little to rave about in general so for me I'm just looking for basic needs to be…read moreprovided: shelter, availability to ticket machines and proper/ safe access to platforms. This station does at the most basic level. The entrance to the station has 2 machines which seems to manage the traffic well. For the most part they are always working and accepting both cash and cards. The station is well lit and the staircases have been upgraded lately. However, there are no elevators/escalators so if you're travelling with a stroller or luggage the stairs can be brutal. Shelter is a basic cover which has about 6 seats and then two outdoors sets of about 4 seats. Again, very no frills.

    This station is like most on the LIRR outdoors. It has decent enclosed shelter. It's normally clean…read more. I cannot blame the LIRR for the slobs that smoke or drink and leave rubbish behind. This is a older station so expect no elevators and about 15 steps to climb I think the Rosedale station and I know Jamaica has elevators. Make sure you buy your tickets prior to boarding or you get hit with a surcharge that could double your ticket price. Then the ride on average 22 minutes vs 1.15 and bus train combo Cost is on average 4 times more than regular transit during rush hour west or east off peak about 2.5 times more. This line is on the RockAway branch weekdays and Long Beach weekends. Also effective November 2012 I know this station is undergoing a overhaul so some exits may be closed
