Fresh sand please for use by the sea (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esplanades

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

'use by the sea' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fresh sand please' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram.
'sand'+'please'='sandplease'
'sandplease' is an anagram of 'ESPLANADES'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for esplanades that I've seen before include "Places to stroll" , "Seafront walks" , "go to seaside resorts for such" , "seaside walks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
