Galite Island, Mediterranean island in Bizerte Governorate, Tunisia.
La Galite stretches across 5.4 square kilometers of volcanic terrain with cliffs reaching 200 meters and a peak elevation of 391 meters.
The island served as an exile location for Tunisian independence leader Habib Bourguiba from May 1952 to May 1954 during French colonial rule.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional methods of seafood harvesting, contributing to the regional maritime heritage of northern Tunisia.
Visitors can reach the island through boat services departing from mainland Tunisia, with access limited to the southern bay of Escueil de Pasque.
The island functions as an Important Bird Area, supporting populations of Audouin's gulls, Eleonora's falcons, and Sardinian warblers.
