Whiskery swimmers ignoring large headlands, or views from them? (9)

I believe the answer is:

seascapes

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

'views from them?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'whiskery swimmers ignoring large headlands' is the wordplay.
'whiskery swimmers' becomes 'seas' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ignoring' suggests deleting specific letters.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'headlands' becomes 'Calpes' (Calpe is an example).
'calpes' with 'l' taken away is 'capes'.
'seas'+'capes'='SEASCAPES'

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for seascapes that I've seen is " Maritime paintings".)
