The village's guardian deity: legend says the sacred stone was netted from the sea by fishermen.

The year's-end thanksgiving falls on the 16th day of the 12th lunar month.

Worship here is still part of village life: at New Year for a safe, plentiful year; at festivals and weddings for good weather and a peaceful village; and by the young for a good marriage.

At year's end villagers give thanks. A live pig was once killed in the basin by the altar and its meat shared; now a roast pig is carved and shared in front of him.

守護水口的神明,相傳神石是村民出海捕魚時撈獲的。

年尾酬神在農曆十二月十六日。

祭祀至今仍是村民生活的一部分:新年求平安豐收,節慶及婚嫁求風調雨順、村民安康,年輕人亦求姻緣。

年底酬神。昔日在神壇旁的殺豬池宰活豬分肉,今改以金豬在神前切肉分發。
