One person who visited The Rockpool said: "Food, drink, atmosphere, music and staff were immense. "Thought I was in the Med momentarily! Really recommend, the prawn skewers were superb. Will definitely be going back…" The venue also hosts "Ibiza style sundowner sessions", according to it's Instagram - with acoustic, jazz and band music each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings and all day on a Sunday, all summer. Many visitors note how the restaurant is the ideal spot for watching the sun set on the horizon. A visitor said: "I sat outside and had an amazing view of the sunset. Will definitely be back here. "Had some live music as well which is always a bonus. Definitely a cool chilled out place that is kid friendly." Popular dishes include the restaurants "roast on the coast" which has previously included slow-cooked harissa lamb, Peri Peri chicken, Cauliflower and leek gratin. On Lula's website, the menu is described as "a fresh fusion of Cornish, New Orleans creole and Floridian crab shack spice". There is also a range of different breakfast options and many dishes suitable for veggies and vegans. UK beach named one of the top 100 in the world On Gwithian Beach itself, there is golden sand and a consistent swell great for surfers and kite surfers. Surfers particularly enjoy the nearby 'Sheep Dips' - a large pool formed between two big rocks, that is quite deep in the middle. For little ones, there are also plenty of exploring opportunities with rock pools, dunes and dramatic cliffs. Lifeguards are on duty at the beach during peak season and there are a number of car parks, other cafes and amenities. Additionally, the beach is dog-friendly year round - as is The Rockpool. Off of the beach and 300 yards into the sea is Godrevy Island - which is home to a lighthouse that dates back to 1859. The parish town of Hayle is also a short 10-minute drive away, or if you are feeling adventurous, takes just over an hour to walk to from Gwithian.

Endangered crane makes ‘great escape' out of WA zoo — and nobody can catch her
Another zoo animal is on the run in Washington, but this time it isn't a zebra. An endangered East African crowned crane escaped the Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah, the zoo said in a May 21 Facebook post. The young female bird has been gone for days, and no one can seem to catch her. She was spotted at Lake Sammamish State Park the same day she sneaked out, the zoo said in another Facebook post. Zoo officials said she's likely still at the park hanging out with great blue herons, which she is being mistaken for. The zoo is working to catch the bird and advises anyone who spots her to not approach her. Anyone who sees her can call the zoo at 206-641-1554. 'Seems like the great escape has been working out just fine,' someone commented on Facebook. 'Heaven forbid a girl have hobbies. But seriously, I hope she returns to her home soon!' someone else wrote. 'It's the zebra all over again!' another person said. Last year in April, four Zebras were on the loose after fleeing from a trailer in the North Bend area, The News Tribune in Tacoma reported. Three Zebras were caught the same day, except for Shug. He roamed free for nearly a week, becoming a 'social media sensation,' the news outlet reported. Issaquah is about a 20-mile drive southeast from Seattle.

Beaver named Cauliflower escapes NY zoo and is killed by car. ‘Heartbreaking'
A beaver escaped a zoo and was later found dead after being hit by a car, New York keepers said. A 2-year-old American beaver named Cauliflower escaped his enclosure at the Utica Zoo in April, which sparked a search that led to a 'heartbreaking' discovery, according to a May 8 Facebook post. 'We are immensely grateful to everyone who helped in the search—those who sent in tips and the volunteers who gave their time and care to search for any signs of him,' keepers said in the post. A helping hand returned Cauliflower to the zoo after he was fatally hit by a car, zoo officials told WKTV. Keepers scanned Cauliflower's microchip and confirmed it was him, officials said. Cauliflower 'was entering a natural phase of life when young beavers begin to venture out on their own,' zoo keepers said. Zoo officials urge the public to be on 'the lookout' and to drive carefully when around water in case there are beavers or other animals around. Utica is in central New York, about a 55-mile drive east from Syracuse.
