===Railways===
The [[Schiedam–Hoek van Holland railway]] was a 24-kilometre train service [[branch line]] from [[Schiedam Centrum station]] via [[Vlaardingen]] and [[Maassluis]]. The final two stations on the line were located within the village. [[Hoek van Holland Haven railway station|Hoek van Holland Haven]], the penultimate station, was close to the village centre, adjacent to the [[ferry]] terminal and the small harbour, the Berghaven. [[Hoek van Holland Strand railway station|Hoek van Holland Strand]], the terminus, is closest to the beach. The railway line opened for service in 1893 and was [[Electrification (railway)|electrified]] in 1935. International trains ran from Berlin and Moscow to connected these with London via the ferry service. From 1928 to 1939 and from 1962 to 1979, Hook of Holland was the northern terminus of the [[Rheingold Express]] to Frankfurt and Geneva. Services on the line to [[Rotterdam Centraal station]] were operated by [[Nederlandse Spoorwegen|NS]] every half-hour during the day until April 2017, when the line was closed.

It was then converted to a [[Rapid transit|metro/lightrail]] system. It was reopened in September 2019, as an extension of the [[Rotterdam Metro]] / lightrail. The metro/lightrail service from Hook of Holland terminates at the beach, stops at the redeveloped [[Hoek van Holland Haven metro station]] where it connects to the [[Stena Line]] ferry to [[Harwich]]. It connects to Dutch trains services at [[Schiedam Centrum station]], [[Rotterdam Blaak station]] and [[Rotterdam Alexander station]] and after changing to other metro lines at [[Beurs metro station]] to [[Rotterdam Centraal]].
