Beach Blvd is a seminal compilation album featuring early Californian punk rock bands.

An influential sampler LP, Beach Blvd helped to usher in the hardcore punk movement in suburban Southern California,[nb 1] aided by DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, who gave the record its first airplay on his weekly radio show.

Accompanied by liner notes provided by Bingenheimer,[4] Beach Blvd was originally released in the summer of 1979 on Posh Boy Records, in 12-inch LP format.

In 1990, Posh Boy issued a 29-track extended version on CD[nb 9][1][20] featuring liner notes by Fields and Tony Cadena.
