It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain blue field.

Meaning:
The palm leaf is an attribute of St. Steven, local patron saint and name giver of the commune. The cross is symbolizing a base of the Avis order in this commune in the past. The storks are representing the local fauna, the scallops the nature protection area of Estuário do Tejo.
