Seaside strip where sore heel may be exposed (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lee shore

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

'seaside strip' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'sore heel may be exposed' is the wordplay.
'sore heel' can be anagrammed to 'LEE SHORE'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lee shore that I've seen is " site of possible shipwreck".)

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