Island West
This area includes everything reached by walking west from the docks on Island South. The entrance to this area is initially blocked by a sleeping turtle, which can be wakened by giving a nearby parrot 10 Golden Walnuts. This parrot will only appear after the first parrot in Leo's house has received its own Golden Walnut.
The area is divided north to south by a river which may be crossed over any one of three plank bridges. The Farm, Gourmand Frog, Parrot Express, and Shipwreck are to its east, while the Pond, Birdie's Hut, Green Whack-A-Mole, Qi's Walnut Room, Tiger Slime Grove, and Colored Crystals Puzzle are to its west.
Island West contains 878 plantable tiles.
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. Crows won't spawn on this farm either, so Scarecrows 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 farmhouse that the parrots will repair in exchange for 20 Golden Walnuts. 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 Walnuts and a Farm Obelisk for 20 Golden Walnuts.
Gourmand Frog
After the parrots repair the Island Farmhouse, a cave appears in the north-east corner of the island farm. In it is the Gourmand Frog who will reminisce about days when specific crops were growing on the farm and asks you to grow them. Once they're grown, you can return to him and he will award you with Golden Walnuts.
Solution |
---|
This is a farming task. You have to plant Melon, Wheat and Garlic crops (1 of each) in your Island's farm, and make them grow to the harvest state (do not harvest), and then talk to the Gourmand Frog again. He will award 5 Golden Walnuts for each type of crop. He won't take the crop. |
Birdie's Shack
On the west side of the beach there is a shack which is where Birdie lives. Upon meeting her she will give the player the quest "The Pirate's Wife". After the quest is complete, she no longer has any quests, but will speak with you.
Green Whack-a-Mole
There is a green Duggy moving from hole to hole, which can be "whacked" with the watering can for 1 Golden Walnut. The player can also cover three of the holes with placed objects, and hit the mole with an axe or pickaxe.
Shipwreck
On the southeast part of the beach, below the farm area, there is a shipwreck which the player can enter to collect a Golden Walnut. It is unclear if this shipwreck is related to Leo, Birdie, or the pirates in the Pirate's Cove.
Tiger Slime Grove
North of the pond is a small grove. Mahogany trees will grow there, and several Tiger Slimes will spawn.
Colored Crystals Puzzle
This puzzle is found in a cave northeast of the Tiger Slime Grove.
Upon entering the cave, click on the lion to initiate a game of Simon Says. The game gets faster every round, having 5 rounds in total. Winning the game yields three Golden Walnuts. If any round is failed, the game will restart at round 1. After multiple failed attempts, the game will slow down.
Qi's Walnut Room
- Main article: Qi's Walnut Room
A room accessible by getting a total of 100 Golden Walnuts. Inside is a Perfection Tracker, a Special Order Board, and a Vending Machine that sells items in exchange for Qi Gems.
The Beach
On the southwest side of the beach there are tide pools where Sea Urchins and Coral can spawn. The southeast features mussel rocks which can be mined for Mussels (and 5 hidden Golden Walnuts).
Transportation
Parrot Express
There is a transportation system on the island that can be unlocked by paying the parrots at one of the travel locations. As more areas of the island are unlocked, they are automatically added to the list of destinations. The locations with parrot travel are: Volcano, Farm, Dig Site, Jungle, and Docks.
When you select a location, an animation is shown of the player walking into a small structure that two parrots then lift with vines. The player then appears in the selected location with no animation.

Note that there are two types of water in Ginger Island West: freshwater and ocean. The southern-most plank bridge in the river is the divider between the two. The ocean is to the west and south; the pond and river north of the southern-most plank bridge are freshwater.
