TOTW: Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

6 Upvotes

Many thanks to u/deeppotential123 for selecting my clue in last week's TOTW.

Because I'm currently on a train to Brighton (for work, alas, not pleasure), let's all take a promenade along the front together.

I'll be back to dust the sand off you next Thursday.

Another clue I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about. And each time I tossed and turned as it happens! There are words I could add or change to make it easier to solve but I have high expectations of you lot.

Full disclosure: this is a reworking of a clue by Pasquale in the Guardian a few weeks ago, and is for an uncommon word that I didn't know previously. I was tickled by the idea of this surface. Hope it works as intended...(?)
