Hoek van Holland Strand metro station is a metro station in Hook of Holland (Hoek van Holland), Netherlands. It consists of two tracks with side platforms. Its former site was the terminus of the Schiedam–Hoek van Holland railway to Rotterdam when it opened on 1 June 1893. Its name is derived from the nearby North Sea beach, strand being Dutch for “beach”.
The Nederlandse Spoorwegen stopped operating the line, including Hoek van Holland Strand railway station, on 1 April 2017, and the line was transferred to the Rotterdam Metro. Metro line B service opened as far as the preceding station, Hoek van Holland Haven metro station, on 30 September 2019.[1]
After reconstruction of the rail infrastructure and the facilities, the opening of the replacement metro station took place on 31 March 2023, at which time it again became the western terminus of the line.[2]

The new station is about 1 km further west than the original station, which had become almost 1 km inland after construction of the Maasvlakte moved the shoreline west. The new terminus is once again at the beach.
