Main article: Estuaries of Paravur

Paravur's three sides are surrounded by water bodies - Paravur Lake, Nadayara Lake and Arabian Sea. The town's north and south tips each have a peninsula and estuary. Thekkumbhagam is at its south, where its estuary draws the biggest crowds in the state.[citation needed] It is located at the south-western coastal border of Kollam-Thiruvananthapuram districts. A beach in this location attracts crowds every day.[5][6] The estuary can be accessed by travelling through Paravur-Kappil-Varkala road.[7][8]
