sunrise point

Eastern horizon lookout

Sunrise point is a designated location—typically a hilltop, overlook, or scenic viewpoint—chosen for watching the sun rise.

Parks and tourist destinations often name specific spots this way: We hiked to the sunrise point before dawn.

The term describes function rather than official naming, though some places carry it as a proper name.
