The band started gaining appearances on television, including on The Young Ones (1984) and Top of the Pops several times, which helped to widen their fame.
The band achieved a minor success in the United States with "Montego Bay" (a cover of the 1970 song by Bobby Bloom) in 1986; early the next year, it became a surprise hit in Canada, climbing to No.

Beach moved to Tucson, Arizona, after taking a break in the hills of Ibiza with DJ José Padilla.
The band member who achieved the greatest commercial success in music was Clare Kenny, who joined Coming Up Roses and became a session player with Sinéad O'Connor, the Indigo Girls, Shakespears Sister and Damien Dempsey.
