Foolishly locates in land along the shore (9)

I believe the answer is:

coastline

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

'the shore' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'foolishly locates in' is the wordplay.
'foolishly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'locates'+'in'='locatesin'
'locatesin' with letters rearranged gives 'COASTLINE'.

'land along' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coastline that I've seen before include "Edge of a landmass" , "Outline of land from sea" , "Perimeter of. eg. Britain" , "21 [SEASIDE]" , "Shore boundary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
