I believe the answer is:

briton

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'uk citizen' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'centre of south coast town' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'leaving' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for briton that I've seen before include "Citizen of England, Scotland or Wales" , "hat" , "Citizen of our next-door neighbour" , "UK citizen" , "Native of United Kingdom" .)
