Absolutely amazing spot, there is an even better one just after the roundabout though. Plenty of cars are going slowly in your direction.―Anonymous

Plenty of cars go to Porvoo. I hitched a boat to this place, and I had no trouble getting from here. You can be seen clearly, and there are plenty of locals and tourists going from the archipelago.―Anonymous

Do you want to go to Finland and have experience of the lifetime? If yes, this is a place for you. Stand by the gate to the pier, there is only one and every boat owner need to come through it. Now just ask if somebody is going to Finland and maybe you will be lucky as I was.Few tips:
Good weather helps
On Friday and weekend plenty of people are going to Finland and back
Summer is prime time
Looking clean is useful
Absolutely majority of boat owners don't wake up before 10 am.
Have your ID/ passport ready.

Got a ride quite easily to Helsinki on a sunny summer day. Nice spot close to the historical part of the town. Have a sign!―Rozay

East toward Kotka/Kouvola/St.Petersburg. There's a rest area with a small cafe/restaurant. Ask people for rides.―Anonymous

Stayed here for a few times with the "Kotka" sigh, easy to catch a car, but try to find a car which is leading exactly that direction you need―Anonymous

Waited with "Kouvola" sign. About a fifth of the cars seemed to take the highway to the west (Kouvola/Mikkeli direction).Cars can stop at the bus stop and possibly by the ramp onto the highway. Got a ride to Porvoo (through Kouvola) eventually.
