'''Ginger Island''' is located within the [[Setting#Fern Islands|Fern Islands]] archipelago and is the only island in the archipelago that the player can visit.  It can be accessed after repairing the [[Fish Shop#Willy's Boat|boat]] in the back room of [[Willy]]’s [[Fish Shop]]. Purchasing a ticket to ride the boat costs {{price|1000}}, including the return trip, and is the main way to access the island when the shop is open.

The first time the player rides the boat, a cutscene triggers showing the coast of the region, including some other islands that can be seen on the way. The next time, only the animation of Willy getting on the boat and starting to steer it is shown. The boat arrives at a pier on the island with initially only a single path leading inland, as the rest of the island is closed off. The island is largely inhabited by parrots, which can be offered [[Golden Walnut]]s in trade as the player explores the area. Ginger Island is rather unique amongst the player-visitable areas of Stardew Valley because similar to the [[Greenhouse]], the current [[Seasons|season]] does not affect which [[crops]] can be planted and grown on the island, and nor does the current season affect which [[fish]] can be caught there.

The player can return to Stardew Valley at any time for free by entering the boat on the southern beach. They will usually arrive back inside the [[Fish Shop]], except on [[Festivals|festival days]] when the path back to the [[The Farm|Farm]] is blocked, in which case the player will be deposited to the [[Bus Stop]] instead. If the festival is held on [[The Beach]], the player will be deposited on the bridge leading to the beach south of [[Pelican Town]].

==Island South==

==Island South==

This is the area where the player first lands. It contains the dock, a small beach with the ruins of a building, and three paths each leading to one of the other specific areas of the island. Additionally, the warp location for a [[Warp Totem: Island]] or [[Island Obelisk]] is located in this part of the island. These warp methods will later make it possible to still access the island when Willy's shop is closed.

This is the area where the player first lands. It contains the dock, a small beach with the ruins of a building, and three paths each leading to the other island areas -- Island East, North, and West. Additionally, the warp location for a [[Warp Totem: Island]] or [[Island Obelisk]] is located in this part of the island. Warping to the island is the only way to access it when Willy's shop is closed.

Initially however, only the path to the Island East is available, as two large turtles block the paths to Island North and Island West. The player must follow [[Leo]] who appears and runs into the jungle in Island East. Interactions in Leo's hut will remove the turtle blocking the northern exit, and upon returning to the beach a [[Magma Sprite]] appears and leads the player north to the [[Volcano Dungeon|Volcano]]. The turtle blocking the western exit can be removed by paying the nearby parrot 10 [[Golden Walnut]]s.

==Island East==

==Island East==

This area is reached by walking east from the dock on Island South.  It contains a jungle, and a hut where a boy named [[Leo]] lives with a talking parrot. This parrot will give the player [[Golden Walnut#Parrot Hints|hints]] as to how many [[Golden Walnut]]s they have left to find in areas. Outside of the hut is a Banana Shrine.

This parrot will give the player [[Golden Walnut#Parrot Hints|hints]] as to how many [[Golden Walnut]]s they have left to find in areas. Outside of the hut is a Banana Shrine.

 

*[[Fiddlehead Fern]]s can spawn here to be foraged.

===Gem Birds===

===Gem Birds===

*West: Just east of the pond

*West: Just east of the pond

Approaching the bird will cause it to fly away, leaving behind a gem that matches the bird color: [[Aquamarine|aquamarine]], [[Topaz|topaz]], [[Amethyst|amethyst]], [[Emerald|emerald]], or [[Ruby|ruby]]. The gem should be placed on the pedestal that matches the location where the bird was found. The arrangement of the pictures and pedestals corresponds to the traditional compass rose, with north at the top. When all 4 pedestals have been filled, the shrine activates and gives the player 5 [[Golden Walnut]]s.

===The Farm===

===The Farm===

There is a large area where crops can be planted. Initially it is covered in logs, stones, and weeds just like the Stardew Valley farm is when the player first arrives. Sprinklers can be placed here and fruit trees can be planted. [[Animals#Crows|Crows]] won't spawn on this farm either, so [[Scarecrow]]s aren't necessary. Just like with the [[Greenhouse]], crops from any season can be grown on the Ginger Island farm regardless of the season.

There is a dilapidated [[Island Farmhouse|farmhouse]] that the parrots will repair in exchange for 20 [[Golden Walnut]]s. It's a 4 room house with a kitchen and one [[Tropical Bed]] per farmer on the save file. It comes with a shipping bin. Once the house is ready, the parrots will build a mailbox for an additional 5 [[Golden Walnut]]s and a [[Farm Obelisk]] after that for 20 [[Golden Walnut]]s.
