Spy one composer taking in English seaside (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

bondi beach

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

'seaside' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'spy one composer taking in english' is the wordplay.
'spy' becomes 'bond' (James Bond).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'composer' becomes 'bach' (Johann Sebastian Bach).
'taking in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'bach' placed around 'e' is 'beach'.
'bond'+'i'+'beach'='BONDI BEACH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bondi beach that I've seen before include "Australian resort" , "coastal strip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
