History
Nishikinohama Station opened in June 1936 as a seasonal stop serving Kaihin-mura, a beach resort the Nankai Railway had developed at Nishiki-no-hama in 1933. It was promoted to a year-round station on 1 October 1938. Wartime consolidation transferred it to Kintetsu in June 1944, and a 1947 line transfer returned it to Nankai Electric Railway. Station numbering NK27 was introduced on 1 April 2012, and station staffing was withdrawn from 1 April 2013. A new east-side station building entered service on 20 December 2025, ending the use of the in-station level crossing between platforms.

Notes
The name 'Nishiki-no-hama' (two-colour beach) refers to the white sand and green pines for which the adjacent coast was known when the Nankai Railway opened its resort there in 1933.
