lovers' lane

Secluded couple's spot

A lovers' lane is a secluded road or parking spot where couples go to be alone, typically for romantic or sexual activity in parked cars.

The term evokes American teenage culture from the mid-20th century: They drove out to lovers' lane after the dance.

Such spots—often wooded turnoffs or scenic overlooks—feature prominently in horror movie tropes about vulnerable couples.
