Šeit ir dabas liegums tapec atstajiet auto N 57 15.489, E 023 08.164. Bridinu, ka ar kajam bus jamero ~2km.Engures ezera dabas parks - ipaši aizsargajama dabas teritorija. Dibinats 1957. gada ka ornitologiskais liegums, kopš 1998.gada dabas parks. Platiba 19 992 ha.
Ikviena aizsargajama dabas teritorija ir izveidota tas dabas vertibu del. Engure vispirms jau Engures ezera – lielaka Latvijas piejuras ezera del. Vislabak Engures ezers pazistams ka putnu ezers. Tas izslavets ar lielo perejošo pilu un citu udensputnu daudzveidibu un blivumu. Daudziem Latvijas ornitologiem par otrajam majam tas kluvis kopš pagajuša gadsimta piecdesmitajiem gadiem, kad tur iekartots LU Biologijas instituta petijumu centrs. Toreiz iesaktas, tagad sekmigi turpinas ikgadejas ligzdojošo pilu uzskaites un kaijveidigo putnu koloniju petijumi.
Tacu ezers ir ne tikai putni. Tie ir interesanti udensaugi: tiriem dzidriem mezotrofiem ezeriem raksturigas mieturalgu haru zemudens plavas un Latvija lielakas reta udensauga juras najadas audzes. Dabas parka ieklauti ari Engures ezera krasti, kur plešas kalkaini zalu purvi ar neparasti lielu orhideju sugu daudzveidibu, un slapjie meži. Parks ietver ari priežu mežus starp ezeru un juru, kapas, jurmalas plavas Mersraga un Rigas juras lica udenus lidz 10 metru dzilumam.
Dati par ezera putnu sugam krajušies jau vairak neka gadsimtu. Šai laika dabas parka ligzdojušas 187 putnu sugas, bet migraciju laika te iespejams ieraudzit gandriz visas Latvija konstatetas migrejošo putnu sugas, jo atseviškas putnu grupas šo teritoriju izmanto ka spalvu mainas, migraciju atputas un barošanas, vai ari ka ziemošanas vietu.
Ipaši bagata un nu jau vairak neka 50 gadus Biologijas instituta Ornitologijas laboratorijas vadiba petita ir ezera putnu fauna. Te sastopamas retas un izzudošas putnu sugas, piemeram, pasaules meroga apdraudeta grieze, ap 40 Eiropas meroga apdraudetas un 45 Latvijas Sarkanaja gramata ieklautas putnu sugas, piemeram, dumpis, upis, mazais ormanitis, juras erglis, somzilite, baltais garnis un citi.
