At Beachy Head, request to enjoy the sunshine (4)

I believe the answer is:

bask

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enjoy the sunshine' is the definition.
'bask' can be an answer for 'enjoy' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'the sunshine' bit.

'at beachy head request' is the wordplay.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
'request' becomes 'ask' (to ask is to request something).
The initial letter of 'beachy' is 'b'.
'b' next to 'ask' is 'BASK'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
