lookout point
High viewing spot
A lookout point is a location—often elevated—chosen for its view of the surrounding area.
Scenic overlooks along mountain roads are lookout points for tourists.
The term also applies to positions for surveillance: The guard took his place at the lookout point above the gate.
In romantic contexts, a lookout point is where couples park for privacy with a view.
