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. This is the area where the player first lands. If the festival is held on The Beach, the player will be deposited on the bridge leading to the beach south of Pelican Town. They will usually arrive back inside the Fish Shop, except on festival days when the path back to the Farm is blocked, in which case the player will be deposited to the Bus Stop instead.

STARDEW VALLEY TIDAL POOLS FOR FREE
The player can return to Stardew Valley at any time for free by entering the boat on the southern beach. Ginger Island is rather unique amongst the player-visitable areas of Stardew Valley because similar to the Greenhouse, the current 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 island is largely inhabited by parrots, which can be offered Golden Walnuts to unlock additional areas or features. 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 next time, 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. Purchasing a ticket to ride the boat costs data-sort-value="1000"> 1,000g, including the return trip, and is the main way to access the island when the shop is open. It can be accessed after repairing the boat in the back room of Willy’s Fish Shop.

Ginger Island is located within the Fern Islands archipelago and is the only island in the archipelago that the player can visit.
