Flushing Trefusis Beach, also known as Trefusis or Flushing, is a rocky beach located on the Fal Estuary, directly opposite Falmouth Docks.

The beach can be accessed via a passenger ferry to Flushing, followed by a short walk. It is a small rocky beach that disappears at high tide and has some sand at low tide.

The beach is sheltered and rocky, making it a popular spot for snorkelling and diving, especially around the wartime wrecks offshore. Local dive centre, Dive UK, offers opportunities for both beginners and experienced divers to explore the underwater environment.

Visitors can walk along the Point to Pendennis Castle, the imposing coastal fortresses built by Henry VIII, for the best views across Falmouth Bay.

While there are no lifeguards on the beach, it is considered safe for swimming, especially among local groups. However, it is recommended to check the tide times and conditions before heading in. The beach tends to get busy during the summer months, attracting locals and visitors looking to enjoy the sun, sea, and sand.
