Sicily, Italy
The northernmost tip of Sicily, where the Strait of Messina — only 3 km wide — channels and amplifies winds to extreme intensity. The Scirocco (SE) is funnelled here and can reach 40 kt, making it a legendary advanced wave and freestyle spot. The beach faces east-northeast over the strait; the SE Scirocco arrives cross-shore from the south, and the N Tramontana also works cross-shore from the north. Rocky and pebbly beach with immediate deep water — not for beginners. Year-round spot; best in winter for consistent Scirocco. Active strait shipping traffic.
Capo Peloro Lighthouse is an active lighthouse located in Punta del Faro on the Strait of Messina, the most north-eastern promontory of Sicily, settled in the Province of Messina, the place closest to Calabria.
