No. Vostok is not on the beach, and the station sits on top of a glacier, not at its edge.
Vostok Station was created in 1957.
According to its Web page on Wikipedia: "the surface of the lake is minus 500m or minus 1,600 feet [below the surface of the ice at Lake Vostok (Russian) station]."

Lake Vostok is a sub-glacial lake on the Antarctic continent, located under Vostok Station. You can read details about it, below.
Antarctica's Vostok station is the record holder for the coldest temperature on earth. Vostok is a Russian scientific station. Australia claims a pie-shaped slice of Antarctica, which is an invalid claim based on the Antarctic Treaty. Vostok Station -- a Russian research station, is located in this slice of Antarctica.
There is no governor anywhere on the Antarctic continent. Vostok station is managed by the highest ranking person in residence, who could be a civilian, a military person or a scientist.

At the South Pole, the ice is more than 9,300 feet thick. Since not all of the ice that covers Antarctica has been measured, it's difficult to say what other thicknesses there may be. There is another example, however: Lake Vostok. The elevation of the ice at Vostok Station is 11,444 feet above sea level and the surface of the sub-glacial lake is -1,640 feet. This is thicker than the ice at the South Pole.
Vostok exists at the Pole of Inaccessibility/ Least Accessibility, meaning that this scientific station was established farthest from the beach.
The air distance from Antarctica's Vostok Station to Osaka, Japan, is 5,723 miles. That equals 9,210 kilometers or 4,973 nautical miles.
