Grover Beach is a passenger rail station in the city of Grover Beach, California, in San Luis Obispo County.[2] It is served by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner from San Luis Obispo to San Diego. Four Pacific Surfliner trains serve the station daily.[3]

The station opened in November 1996 from a $1.6 million project that was a coordinated effort between Caltrans, Amtrak, and the city of Grover Beach with funding from State Transit Capital Improvement and Proposition 116 bonds.[4]

Of the 73 California stations served by Amtrak, Grover Beach was the 52nd-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 50 passengers daily.[5]
