Capo Peloro, also known as Punta Faro, is one of the most famous beaches in the province of Messina. Capo Peloro represents the extreme north-eastern tip of Sicily, where the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas meet, which is why its shores are crossed by very strong currents! This wide, flat expanse of sand unfolds beneath the Pilone: a gigantic electricity pylon, once the tallest in the world. The landscape in this area is wonderful, with a great variety of flora and fauna, so much so that it has attracted the interest of the magazine National Geographic!
