Disembarks at the headland and makes a scene (9)
I believe the answer is:
landscape
'scene' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'disembarks at the headland' is the wordplay.
'disembarks' becomes 'lands' (I've seen this in another clue).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the headland' becomes 'cape' (I've seen this before).
'lands'+'cape'='LANDSCAPE'
'and makes a' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for landscape that I've seen before include "Artwork" , "Painters may paint it" , "The visible features of an area" , "Art of laying out scenic grounds" , "Picture showing countryside" .)
