I stayed at Long Beach 3 years ago & as I recall, 1102 would be on the east end of the building & not by the lagoon pool. Also, You're correct about the beach access; there's a grassy lawn in front of each building (not very big, though) and a walkway on the side. Buildings 2 & 3 are on each side of the lagoon pool, so you won't have far to go to get to the pool even if you are on the east end of building 2. Hope this helps!
