Crossword Genius

Stand around with a redhead on the beach (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strand

'the beach' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stand around with a redhead' is the wordplay.
'around with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a redhead' becomes 'r' (the head/first letter of 'red').
'stand' with its letters mixed up with 'r' makes 'STRAND'.

'on' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for strand that I've seen before include "Maroon - thread" , "Stretch of sand" , "A thread or a beach" , "Single piece of hair, rope etc" , "Beach - desert" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
