Stu's lookout is a scenic spot at Marahau in the Tasman district, with a Google rating of 4.8.
A good scenic spot rewards the effort of getting there: a clear view, a safe place to stand, and enough room to stop without blocking others. If you are choosing a lookout, check how you get there, whether it is a short walk or a longer climb, and whether the path is suitable for children or anyone with limited mobility. Regulars go early or late in the day, when the light is best for photos and crowds are thinner, and they check the weather and tide first, since views can change dramatically with cloud, haze and water level. Marahau sits at the edge of Abel Tasman National Park, so a view over the estuary and coast is part of the draw. Bring water, sun protection and a layer, keep to marked paths and stay well back from edges.
For visitors around Marahau and Abel Tasman, Stu's lookout is a very well-rated spot to stop and take in the view.
