Seagull and line of partition are stressing the character as a seaside resort and spa. The fishnet is alluding to fishery as former important business line. The flag colours are those of Pommern.

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Azure a seahorse Or, at sinister Argent a yew branch Vert with berries Gules.
Meaning:
The seahorse is taken from the former municipal arms from 1951, which however didn't match heraldic rules. The seahorse is also symbolising the character of the municipality as a seaside resort. The yew is referring to the old Slavic name of the settlement, meaning "yew". The flag tinctures are those of Pommern.
