Short break with nothing right in seaside town? (6)

I believe the answer is:

resort

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

'seaside town?' is the definition.
(seaside resort)

'short break with nothing right' is the wordplay.
'short break' becomes 'rest' (a rest is taking a break. I am not sure about the 'short' bit.).
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'o'+'r'='or'
'rest' placed around 'or' is 'RESORT'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resort that I've seen before include "Have recourse (to)" , "Holiday destination" , "Place many go to" , "Delightful place to take a break" , "haunt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
