There's a bighead on every Continental plage (5)

I believe the answer is:

beach

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

'continental plage' is the definition.
'beach' can be an answer for 'plage' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'continental' bit.

'there's a bighead on every' is the wordplay.
'there's a bighead' becomes 'b' (the head letter of 'big').
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'every' becomes 'each' (synonyms).
'b'+'each'='BEACH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beach that I've seen before include "Accessible shoreline" , "Shore between high and low water mark" , "Area of land sloping down to water" , "Seaside" , "Pebbly or sandy shore" .)
