Coastal resort that has some edge in India (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rimini

'coastal resort' is the definition.
(Rimini is a coastal resort in Italy)

'some edge in india' is the wordplay.
'some edge' becomes 'rim' (rim is a kind of edge).
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'rim'+'in'+'i'='RIMINI'

'that has' is the link.

(Other definitions for rimini that I've seen before include "Italian coastal city" , "Italian town" , "Italian Adriatic port" , "Francesca's place" , "North-east Italian Adriatic resort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
