Thekkumbhagam is at its south, where its estuary draws the biggest crowds in the state.[citation needed] It is located at the borders 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]
