'''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.

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 dock on the island with only a single path leading inland at first, as the rest of the island is closed off. The island is largely inhabited by parrots, which can be offered [[Golden Walnut]]s to unlock additional areas or features. 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]].

===Beach Resort===

After the [[Island Farmhouse|island farmhouse]] to the west is repaired, the ruins can be rebuilt into a beach resort 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.

The Pirate Cove can be accessed at the east side of Island Southeast through a hidden entrance east of the star-shaped pool. The player can enter the cove at any time to fish in the pool at its southeast or in the small pools near its entrance. These are the only locations in the game where the [[Stingray]] can be caught. In addition to the fish shown in the [[#Fishing|Fishing section]] below, the player can catch a {{name|Gourmand Statue|class=inline}}, which initially appears as a present box when caught.

Pirates visit the cove after 8pm on non-rainy even-numbered days of the season. If the player is inside the cove before 8pm on a day when pirates come visiting, the player is automatically removed from the cave and placed outside its entrance, ending any current activity there. The player can, however, reenter the cove. While pirates are visiting, the player can play [[Darts]] to win [[Golden Walnut]]s. (There are no rewards after the first three times the player wins a game.) There is also a bar where any player who is wearing a [[Pirate Hat]], [[Eye Patch]], or [[Deluxe Pirate Hat]] is given [[Mead]] once a day.

In [[Winter]], Jellyfish similar to those appearing at the [[Dance of the Moonlight Jellies]] festival may be seen in the southmost pool, but they cannot be caught.

To play the Mermaid's song, place a [[Flute Block]] on top or below each set of stones on the shore, then tune each block by the amount of stones. A large stone symbolizes 5, and a small stone symbolizes 1. After tuning all 5 blocks, simply run past each one from left-to-right.

If you're careful in triggering the noteblock(s), one can also play the complete tune with just one noteblock. Simply place the noteblock, tune it, play it, break it, and move to the next spot.

 

It is possible to solve this puzzle using only one Flute Block by carefully triggering, removing, placing at the next spot, tuning, and playing again, until all 5 notes are played.

This area is reached by walking east from the dock on Island South. It contains a jungle where [[Fiddlehead Fern]]s can spawn, 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.

A hidden path to the east in the jungle leads to an area with a shrine and several pedestals. The entrance is one square south of the parrot express kiosk and all the way to the east. Each pedestal has an image carved in stone in front of it that corresponds to a section of the island. Interacting with the shrine shows the following message:

A hidden path to the east in the jungle leads to an area with a shrine and four pedestals. The entrance is one square south of the parrot express kiosk and all the way to the east. Each pedestal has an image carved in stone in front of it that corresponds to a section of the island. Interacting with the shrine shows the following message:

:''"When dark clouds cry, begin your quest''

Each day that it's raining on the island, a gem-bird will appear in one cardinal direction of the island:

On rainy days, a single Gem Bird appears in '''one''' randomly-selected region of the island (north, south, east, or west). Approaching the Gem Bird causes it to fly away, dropping a gemstone as it does so. The player must collect this gemstone and place it on the bird statue at the shrine that corresponds to the island region in which the Gem Bird appeared.

*South: Just northwest of the docks

*East: Middle of area, near the path

*North: Northeast from the [[Island Trader]]

*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]], [[topaz]], [[amethyst]], [[emerald]], or [[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 arrangement of the pictures and pedestals corresponds to the traditional compass rose, with north at the top (volcano: north, waves: south, palm tree: east, heart: west). There are five possible gems: [[Amethyst]], [[Aquamarine]], [[Emerald]], [[Ruby]], and [[Topaz]]. When all 4 pedestals have been filled correctly, the shrine activates and gives the player 5 [[Golden Walnut]]s.

*Birds will still appear and drop additional gems even after the puzzle has been solved. The puzzle reward occurs only once per save file, although the statues may still (incorrectly) display plus signs while the player is holding a valid gem near one.

*There are five types of gem bird, each leaving its own type of gem. Of these five, four are randomly selected and assigned randomly to the compass direction where they will appear. Random selection and assignment is accomplished once per save file and is in place before the player first visits Ginger Island on a rainy day. Whenever that day occurs, each game has the same assignment.

*The gems placed do '''not''' need to be the same ones dropped by the birds - a gem of the correct type from any source will work. Further, a bird need not even be approached; The gems can be guessed (there are 2, 6, 24, or 120 possible combinations depending on how many birds have been approached so far).

West of the [[Island Field Office]] is a broken bridge which can be repaired by parrots in exchange for 10 [[Golden Walnut]]s. Once repaired, it leads to the Dig Site, an area similar to the [[Quarry]]. Rocks, [[Mining#Bone Node|Bone Nodes]], [[Mining#Clay Node|Clay Nodes]], and [[Mahogany Tree]] seeds have a chance of spawning there every day.

East of the stairs north of the Dig Site is the Ginger Island Mushroom Cave. Initially, there is a boulder blocking the entrance, and someone behind it is calling for help. Place any bomb to remove the boulder, thus freeing [[Professor Snail]] and unlocking the [[Island Field Office]]. The cave spawns random new mushrooms every day. Unlike the [[The Cave|farm's cave]], its mushrooms grow directly on the ground, so players benefit from the [[Skills#Foraging|Gatherer or Botanist]] professions when collecting them.
