Where the coast isn't clear? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascot

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

'isn't clear?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'where the coast' is the wordplay.
'where' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'coast' is an anagram of 'ASCOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Posh racecourse" , "track" , "Where the Queen often sees racehorses" , "Berks racecourse" , "Tie or cravat" .)
