'''Ginger Island''' is an island in the [[Setting#Fern Islands|Fern Islands]] archipelago.  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}} and includes the return trip.

'''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.

Ginger Island is the only island available to visit in the archipelago. The first time the player rides the boat, a cutscene triggers where other islands can be seen from the boat on the way there. Afterwards, only the animation of Willy getting on the boat and starting to steer it is shown.  

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, and a warp location for a [[Warp Totem: Island]] or [[Island Obelisk]]. A ruined building is the site for a future beach resort.

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.

Initially, 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 remove the turtle blocking the northern exit. 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.

===Beach Resort===

===Beach Resort===

After the [[Island Farmhouse|island farmhouse]] to the west is repaired, the beach resort can be built for 20 [[Golden Walnut]]s. From then on a random subset of [[villagers]] from [[Pelican Town]] will arrive at 11:00 AM and leave at 6:00 PM each non-raining day that isn't a festival day. The player can open/close the resort for the following day with the toggle located between the two doors of the changing room.

After opening the beach resort, [[Gus]] will run a bar on the days when he visits.
