Live with discomforts in sandy areas (7)

I believe the answer is:

beaches

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

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

'live with discomforts' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'discomforts' becomes 'aches' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'be'+'aches'='BEACHES'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beaches that I've seen before include "Areas of sand going down to the water" , "Sandy shores" , "Sandy areas" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
