Shield Or with base wavy of Azure and Argent, an impending fowl anchor Azure with rope Gules, on central chief a rooster statant Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "S. PEDRO – VILA DO PORTO".
Meaning:
The rooster is a rare attribute of St. Peter, name giver and local patron saint, see e.g. Luke 22,60. The anchor is symbolising fishery. As the base wavy has blue waves, no green ones, it has to be a representation of the local creek Ribeira do Lemos.
