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 certain of the 'the sunshine' bit.

'at beachy head request' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'head' suggests taking the first letters.
'request' becomes 'ask' (to ask is to request something).
The first letter of 'beachy' is 'b'.
'b' next to 'ask' is 'BASK'.

'to' acts as a link.
