Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 4, 1996.
The sun represents the beach and the wealth of the parish. The torch is a symbol for the old fortress, on which torches were lit at night to navigate the ships near the coast. The lyre is a symbol for the cultural skills of the villagers. The wavy base symbolises the Atlantic Ocean and the green shield the forests in the area.
