All sorts going topless repeatedly around promenade (6)
I believe the answer is:
stroll
'promenade' is the definition.
('stroll' can be a synonym of 'promenade')
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stroll that I've seen before include "Walk slowly and idly" , "cinch" , "swan" , "A casual, relaxing walk" , "Amble or ramble" .)
