Beach Avenue and Ocean Parkway. The other mezzanine at the west end is unstaffed, containing two High Entry/Exit Turnstiles. The southern wall of the mezzanine contains service rooms. It is otherwise arranged roughly as a mirror image of the full-time mezzanine. Outside fare control, within the western half of the mezzanine, two stairs, facing in opposite directions, descend to the northwest corner of Brighton Beach Avenue and Ocean Parkway. Each of the staircases from the mezzanine to the street contains a similar design. All of the staircases have modern metal balustrades and handrails, as well as cast-iron columns that support standing-seam-metal canopies. At street level, the entrance to each stairway is covered by a cantilevered hexagonal canopy, which has a cornice with bezant motifs. These hexagonal canopies are topped by cornices with wave motifs, above which are ornate signs with the name "Ocean Parkway", scrolled brackets, and spires. The station is geographically the closest Brighton Line station to the Brighton and Coney Island beaches, with the beachfront located roughly away from the station.
