Harmil is an uninhabited island in Eritrea that forms part of the Dahlak Archipelago.

The southwest corner of the northeast bay contains an entrance into a sheltered lagoon fully protected by mangroves and accessible by dinghy.

[1] The Eritrean Navy operates the outpost to observe the nearby waters for unwanted foreign visitors or vessels.

[citation needed] The island itself is a desert-like environment with very little vegetation; however, the forces there do maintain herds of cows and goats.

[citation needed] Due to the very low lay of the land, the winds blowing across the islands can be severe.
