About the flag

Arms: azure, an anchor, with iron and ring argent and shaft or forming a raguly cross, entangled in a rosary with 18 globes or on a brown string, between at sinister a moon argent, open dexter, and dexter a sun or, argent mural crown of five towers (city status), scroll reading "PÓVOA DO VARZIM".
António Martins, 03 Oct 1998

Variation with blue scroll with yellow letters

The scroll is usually black on white — though still a number of sources show it yellow on blue.
