Harmony Flats Nature Reserve is located between Gordon’s Bay and Strand. It is a small 9 ha reserve that supports over 220 plant species - of which more than 30 are endangered. The nature reserve was first proclaimed in 1986 and its purpose was to provide a home for the critically endangered geometric tortoise.
The vegetation type conserved in Harmony Flats is the critically endangered Lourensford alluvium fynbos. There is less than 7% of this vegetation type left in the world and Harmony Flats Nature Reserve is one of the last places where it is conserved.
