Leave for the seaside (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strand

I believe this is a double definition.

'leave' is the first definition.
(I know that strand is a more specific form of the action abandon)

'seaside' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'for the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for strand that I've seen before include "Beach or single hair" , "Shore; single thread" , "Abandon on the seashore" , "Lock of hair" , "Stretch of sand" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
