nothing for nothing...but usually when there is no beach at LaPlage...there also isn't one at the runway. Either they both are all sand...or all rocks. I have literally many times see this beach go from all sand to all rocks within a two day period...and back again. You never know what will be at this beach. As for pool use between LaPlage and La Terrace. Usually if security notices you are not staying at LaPlage, or you aren't a guest of someone who is staying there, you will be asked to leave. This has been the norm for the entire time LaTerrace has been built.
