La Costa Perdida is the 8th studio release by the American alternative-music band Camper Van Beethoven.

The lead-off single from the album, "Northern California Girls", was released on January 1, 2013.

This album focuses on Northern California in its lyrics and artwork and is paired with the following year's release El Camino Real, another concept album about Southern California.

Most of the drumming on the album is handled by studio drummer Michael Urbano, a former member of Lowery's other band Cracker, although former CVB drummer Chris Pedersen also plays drums on "Too High For the Love-In" and the title track.

"La Costa Perdida" is Spanish for "The Lost Coast," which Lowery uses as a metonym for the bulk of California's North Coast, between Stinson Beach and Arcata.
