'''Thottappally''' is a village in [[Alappuzha district]] in the state of [[Kerala]], [[India]]. 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]].<ref>[http://www.rainwaterharvesting.org/vembanad_lake/vembanad_lake.htm RainwaterHarvesting.org Vembanad Wetland.]</ref><ref>[http://www.kuttanadpackage.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81&Itemid=73 Official website of Kuttanad Package.]</ref><ref>[http://epubs.icar.org.in/ejournal/index.php/IJF/article/view/7038 A preliminary account on the fishery resources of Thottappally Spillway.]</ref> ''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 />

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 />
