The Kissing Rock is a popular hang out for the teenagers of Rosewood, Pennsylvania. It was also one of the many places that Alison DiLaurentis visited the night she disappeared.
Series[]
- The girls used to hang out here, as mentioned when the girls think of a suitable place to erect a memorial for Alison.

- In "Keep Your Friends Close" Emily states that The Kissing Rock is behind the lake that the girls used to hang out when Alison was still alive.
- In "Please, Do Talk about Me When I'm Gone," Emily recalls in a flashback how Alison had teased her one summer day: Alison had made up some story about The Kissing Rock being a place where lovers had gone to kiss for hundreds of years. She claimed the ghosts were watching the visiting couples, expecting them to kiss. She had then asked Emily who she wanted to take there as more of a dare than a question, knowing full well that Emily had been thinking of her alone.
- Ian and Alison are seen creating a teasing video in the film footage. Apparently, Alison had met with Ian here after her meeting with Toby, as she was wearing his sweater while sitting on the rock. When Ian took the camera off of her, Alison had fallen to the ground before laughing and sitting up.
