Crossword Genius

Run aground on a beach (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strand

I believe this is a double definition.

'run aground' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a beach' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'on' is the link.

(Other definitions for strand that I've seen before include "Beach; London road" , "Margin by a beach" , "Single piece of hair, rope etc" , "Beach or shore" , "Maroon - thread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
