Lonely Planet review for Halkokari

Beyond Neristan, the Suntti stream continues down to the harbour. There is a beach here, Halkokari, where a British attack was repelled during the Crimean war. One of the gunboats was captured, and can be seen in the 'English Park' on the river just north of Neristan. The event is commemorated in the town's festival in early June, when people dress-up 1854-style, and there's a theatrical re-enactment.
