A Ver-o-Mar

It is a former civil parish currently located in União das Freguesias de Aver-o-Mar, Amorim e Terroso, of which it is its seat.

[citation needed] A Ver-o-Mar was once a fishing-farmer village in the north of the city of Póvoa de Varzim and became an independent parish from Amorim in 1922.

In January 2006 the national government approved and recognized the extension of the city of Póvoa de Varzim to this and three other parishes.

The south of Aver-o-Mar is grouped with the north of Bairro Norte and is known as Agro-Velho and is an urban and beach resort district.

The parish has 18 hamlets: Agro-Velho, Aldeia Nova, Boucinha, Caramuja, Fontes Novas, Fragosa, Mourincheira, Paço, Paranho, Paranho de Areia, Palmeiro, Perlinha, Finisterra, Paralheira, Refojos, Sencadas, Santo André, and Sesins.

The rocky Quião Beach , near Cape Santo André , is a notable beach habitat.
Sargassum seaweed is sun-dried on the beach for use as fertilizer
