虎井大音宮入內參拜須淨身、換拖鞋
南海觀光勝地虎井離島信仰中心大音宮，主祀觀音佛袓，至今已有百餘年歷史，保留相當奇怪的習俗，信徒入廟參拜必須淨身、換穿拖鞋才能入內殿參拜，當地居民流傳的說法是觀音佛袓為女神，相當愛乾淨，因此才有脫鞋、淨身的習俗沿傳至今。
虎井居民先袓，一路由福建省金門、湖西沙港、馬公山水，播遷至虎井離島，一百多年前，一艘大陸帆船遭遇颱風來襲，不慎在虎井海淢翻覆，船上奉祀的觀音佛袓隨波逐流至虎井岸邊，當地乩童突然起乩，指稱神明旨意，要求蓋廟立祀，信徒們紛紛籌錢興建大音宮，主祀觀音佛袓、副主祀上帝公、三千歲諸神，成為當地信仰中心，民國六十二年重建落成至今。
當地居民進入大音宮參拜，必須先由側門進入，將手腳洗乾淨，再由正門脫鞋進入內殿，換穿拖鞋頂禮參拜，這項奇特習俗起源已不可考，但當地居民流傳的說法，是觀音佛袓為女神，女姓都稍微絡帶潔癖，才有淨身脫鞋的說法，擔心鞋髒有礙觀瞻，另外一說，則是大音宮百年來無乩童，都是善男信女入內自行誦經，仿效和尚、尼姑脫鞋參拜的禮數，而大音宮的廟祝陳石頭則表示，由於大音宮佔地甚廣，信徒擔心他一人無法整理，因此才脫鞋保持乾靜，久而久之約定成俗。
大音宮不僅為當地村民宗教信仰中心，同時也保存相當多的古物，宮中懸掛的一塊牌匾「發雲慈雨」，相傳已有百年以上歷史，主要訴說宗教故事，神明大發慈悲起雲降雨，顯示其佛法無邊。
