I believe the answer is:

barefoot

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

'as walker on beach?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'be too far out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'be'+'too'+'far'='betoofar'
'betoofar' anagrammed gives 'BAREFOOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for barefoot that I've seen before include "Shoeless" , "without protection for lowest members" , "'-------- in the Park', Neil Simon play filmed in 1967 with Jane Fonda and Robert Redford" , "Without shoes and socks" , "Unshod" .)
