Thottappally is especially notable for ''Thottappally Spillway'', a spillway cum bridge on the [[National Highway 66]] between [[Alappuzha]] and [[Thiruvananthapuram]]. The spillway is one of the two regulators used to regulate waterlevel in the paddy fields of [[Kuttanad]], the other being at [[Thanneermukkom]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.rainwaterharvesting.org/vembanad_lake/vembanad_lake.htm RainwaterHarvesting.org Vembanad Wetland.]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.kuttanadpackage.in/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=81&amp;Itemid=73 Official website of Kuttanad Package.]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[http://epubs.icar.org.in/ejournal/index.php/IJF/article/view/7038 A preliminary account on the fishery resources of Thottappally Spillway.]&lt;/ref&gt; ''Thottappally'' is [[Kuttanad]]'s drain-way-out to the [[Arabian Sea]]. The ''Thottappally Spillway'' splits the ''Thottappally'' lake with the fresh water part to the east and saline ''Thottappally'' rivermouth to the west merging with the [[Arabian Sea]]. The beach and fishing harbour of [[Purakkad]], which got into fame through the celebrated film and novel [[Chemmeen]], is adjacent to ''Thottappally''.<br /> <br /> Thottappally, is known for its fishing harbour and its Coastal Police Station. The coast, with the help of the Kerala State Forest Department, has been improved through a planting drive to improve its vegetation.{{Citation needed|date=December 2015}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{commons category|Thottapally Spillway}}<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Alappuzha district}}<br /> {{coord missing|Kerala}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Villages in Alappuzha district]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Alappuzha-geo-stub}}</div>
