The official blazon is "Per fess rayonny Or and azure" (Norwegian: Delt av gult og blått ved flammesnitt).

This means the arms have a field (background) that is divided by a line with a rayonny design with five waves with yellow over blue.

Norwegian County Road 890 runs through Berlevåg, connecting it to the neighboring municipalities, and the rest of Norway.

Facing rough ocean conditions, the four man-made breakwaters that protect the harbor of Berlevåg have been destroyed several times due to bad weather.

Prior to that time, a smaller vessel had to unload cargo and passengers from it in the open sea and then ferry them in to the port.

The mayors (Norwegian: ordfører) of Berlevåg:[37][38] The municipality is situated in the northwestern part of the Varanger Peninsula, facing the open Barents Sea to the north and the Tanafjorden to the west.

[1] Berlevåg's coastal location serves to moderate temperatures during winter, giving it a marine subarctic climate.

As well as the large seabird colonies with thousands of nesting birds, there are also areas of unspoiled nature consisting of mountains, moorlands, and marshes.

Berlevåg Airport was originally put into use at this time, when German occupying forces constructed it with the help of hundreds of Russian prisoners of war.

In November 1944, the village was completely burned down and the inhabitants evacuated by force as part of the scorched earth strategy of the Germans.

In the aftermath, the Norwegian government wanted to relocate the inhabitants to nearby Kongsfjord because of a better harbour, but they refused, and the village was rebuilt.

The movie Heftig og begeistret (English: "Cool and Crazy") was a big hit 2001 in Norway, first shown at Tromsø International Film Festival.

Berlevåg is also the place for the fictional story "Babette's Feast" by the Danish author Karen Blixen / Isak Dinesen published in the anthology Anecdotes of Destiny (1958).
