A Ver-o-Mar, Aver-o-Mar or Averomar is an urban area in Póvoa de Varzim. 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. In the census of 2001, it had a population of 8,675 inhabitants and a total area of 5.21 km2. A 2012 law merged the parish with neighbouring Amorim and Terroso, becoming the northern parish of the city of Póvoa de Varzim.

Aver-o-Mar naming is unknown, although the current form means "watching the sea" in Portuguese. This is a misinterpretation of the name made in early 20th century. The ancient people's Abremar pronunciation is still common and Averomar form is becoming popular, used in the new crest and by the local football association, the Averomar F.C.
