Misali Island is a small uninhabited island (about 2 km long and 0.8 km wide) in the Pemba Channel, roughly 10 km west of Chake Chake, Pemba.

Conservation management includes daily ranger patrols, no-fishing zones covering roughly a third of the reef area, and mangrove replanting, funded in part by a visitor conservation fee. Permitted activities include snorkelling, scuba diving, guided nature walks and birdwatching.
