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. A top Haven holiday park with a seaside bar that 'feels like Ibiza' is also on one of UK's best beaches. Plus, one of the UK's oldest beach bars to open new rooftop terrace in time for summer. 6 The restaurant serves up a 'roast on the coast' Credit: Instagram 6 There is also live music at the venue Credit: Instagram

‘We already had our last fight': White Lotus composer quits in frustration at show's creator
The composer of the theme for The White Lotus has quit the dark comedy-drama over creative differences with its creator, Mike White. According to Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, White never liked his Emmy-winning title music, preferring a chilled-out Ibiza-style track. He said conversations with producers could become 'hysterical'. 'I just stuck to what I was doing,' the musician told the New York Times. 'There were … crazy people and screaming and stuff like that. From there, it became this weird relationship of: how do I pass all this weird music into the show?' De Veer's work has been acclaimed by fans and critics – his music for The White Lotus has won three Emmys, including outstanding theme for season one, and the season-two version became a club hit that was remixed by Tiësto. 'There's one thing I'm pretty proud of and that is I feel like I never gave up,' De Veer said. 'Maybe I was being unprofessional, and for sure Mike feels that I was always unprofessional to him because I didn't give him what he wanted. But what I gave him did this, you know – did those Emmys, people going crazy.' De Veer's music for the third season proved more divisive, with some fans expressing disquiet that the vocal ululation of the previous versions had been omitted. In the resulting furore, he was contacted by journalists worldwide who wanted comment on the new theme. He said it had been edited to fit the credits sequence and that no one on the show realised 'how attached people were to the ooh-loo-loo-loos'. De Veer claimed that he attempted to persuade the show's producers to calm the furore by releasing the full version of the theme. He said White refused. 'I texted the producer and I told him that it would be great to, at some point, give them the longer version with the ooh-loo-loo-loos, because people will explode if they realise that it was going there anyway. He thought it was a good idea. But then Mike cut that – he wasn't happy about that. 'At that point, we already had our last fight for ever, I think. So he was just saying no to anything. So I just uploaded that to my YouTube.' This is not the first controversy to hit this season of The White Lotus. Duke University – the logo of which features on the T-shirt of Jason Isaacs' character, Timothy Ratliff – recently complained about its usage, particularly in scenes where Ratliff contemplated suicide. Frank Tramble, Duke's vice-president for communications, marketing and public affairs, told Bloomberg: 'The White Lotus not only uses our brand without permission, but in our view uses it on imagery that is troubling, does not reflect our values or who we are, and simply goes too far.' Representatives of The White Lotus have been contacted for comment.
