Repose and please walk by sea (9)

I believe the answer is:

esplanade

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

'walk by sea' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'repose and please' is the wordplay.
'and please' anagrams to 'ESPLANADE'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for esplanade that I've seen before include "prom" , "Seafront walk" , "Seaside road" , "place for a stroll" , "Paved area at seaside resort" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
