Gammarth (Tunisian Arabic: ڨمرت gammartⓘ) is a town on the Mediterranean Sea in the Tunis Governorate of Tunisia, located some 15 to 20 kilometres north of Tunis, adjacent to La Marsa.
Gammarth began as a small fishing village but following independence from France it blossomed into a resort from the 1950s.
