Best of the Beach Boys Vol. 2 is a UK compilation album by The Beach Boys, released in 1967 on Capitol Records. Issued as a follow‑up to the hugely successful first volume, this release focuses on mid‑1960s material, capturing the group at the height of their melodic and harmonic development.

The compilation highlights Brian Wilson’s increasingly sophisticated songwriting and production, bridging the gap between early surf pop and the more emotionally rich sound that would culminate in Pet Sounds. The selection balances upbeat hits with more reflective material.

Tracks include:

• Surfer Girl

• Don’t Worry Baby

• Wendy

• When I Grow Up

• Good to My Baby

• Dance Dance Dance

• Then I Kissed Her

• The Girl from New York City

• Girl Don’t Tell Me

• Little Girl I Once Knew

• Mountain of Love

• Here Today

• Wouldn’t It Be Nice

• Good Vibrations
