scenic turnout
Roadside viewing spot
A scenic turnout is a paved area alongside a road where drivers can pull off to take in a view—typically at overlooks, mountain passes, or coastal stretches.
Signs often mark these spots in advance: We stopped at every scenic turnout on the Pacific Coast Highway.
Also called a scenic overlook or pullout.
