Faro Point (Italian: Punta del Faro) or Peloro Cape (Italian: Capo Peloro; Sicilian: Capu Piloru) is the northeastern promontory of Sicily situated in Messina district at northeast of the city.

The village is connected to the city center by two ATM bus lines: line 32 (Ponte Gallo–Mortelle–Terminal Museo) and shuttle line 1 (Giampilieri Superiore–Torre Faro).

In antiquity it was considered a possible dwelling place of the mythological Sirens, along with a few other mediterranean locations, like the islands of Sirenuse or Capri.
