'seaside town' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'without a bean it's struggling' is the wordplay.
'without' becomes 'sans' (I've seen this before).
'struggling' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters struggle or wriggle into a new form).
'a'+'bean'+'its'='abeanits'
'abeanits' is an anagram of 'ebastian'.
'sans'+'ebastian'='SAN SEBASTIAN'
