I believe the answer is:

palm beach

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

'florida resort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a student doctor tucking into fruit in' is the wordplay.
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'doctor' becomes 'MB' (Bachelor of Medicine).
'tucking into' indicates putting letters inside.
'fruit in' becomes 'peach' (type of fruit. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'a'+'l'+'mb'='almb'
'almb' going within 'peach' is 'PALM BEACH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for palm beach that I've seen before include "Florida tourist centre" , "Florida resort" , "US resort" .)
