Crossword Genius

Time off in bay? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recess

This clue is a double definition.

'time off' is the first definition.
(eg time off work)

'bay' is the second definition.
(bay can mean a coastal recess)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for recess that I've seen before include "Small concavity" , "Adjourn, rise" , "Parliamentary break" , "A niche or a temporary business break" , "In a corner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
