8 guidesUnlock / 20 Golden Walnuts after Island Farmhouse
Unlock Beach Resort
解锁姜岛度假村
After buying the Island Farmhouse, spend 20 Golden Walnuts to rebuild the Island Resort. This turns Island South into a social and puzzle hub while opening Island Southeast and Pirate Cove access.
Schedule / 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on non-rainy, non-festival days
Villager Visit Rules
村民到访规则
When the resort is open, a random subset of Pelican Town villagers can arrive at 11:00 AM and leave at 6:00 PM on non-raining days that are not festival days. During resort time, the social tab shows bathing suit outfits.
Control / Changing room toggle and next-day schedule control
Open or Close Resort
开放或关闭度假村
The resort can be closed or reopened with the toggle between the two changing room doors. The change begins the following day, and the resort stays closed until the player reopens it.
Shop / Gus visits, beach bar stock, and tropical convenience
Gus Resort Bar
Gus 度假村酒吧
After the Beach Resort opens, Gus runs a beach bar on the days when he visits. His resort stock includes drinks and tropical items such as Pina Colada, Beer, Pale Ale, Mead, Cranberry Candy, Mango Wine, and Tropical Curry recipe.
Puzzle / Beach Resort unlock, rainy days, Flute Blocks, and 5 Golden Walnuts
Island Southeast and Mermaid
东南岛与美人鱼
Building the Beach Resort clears access to Island Southeast. On rainy days, the Mermaid appears near the shore and rewards 5 Golden Walnuts when the correct Flute Block song route is played.
Area / Hidden entrance, Stingray, Gourmand Statue, pirate nights, and Darts
Pirate Cove Unlock
解锁海盗湾
The Beach Resort opens the path to Island Southeast and the hidden Pirate Cove entrance east of the star-shaped pool. Pirate Cove supports Stingray fishing, Gourmand Statue cleanup, a dig walnut, pirate-night ambience, and Darts Golden Walnut rewards.
Minigame / Exactly 301 points and three Golden Walnut wins
Darts Walnut Cleanup
飞镖金核桃清理
When pirates are present in Pirate Cove after 8pm on even, non-rainy days, play Darts and score exactly 301. The first three wins award one Golden Walnut each, so mark all three before calling Pirate Cove complete.
Planning / 20-walnut resort cost versus unlocked source clusters
Golden Walnut Planning
金核桃规划
The 20-walnut resort cost is expensive, but it unlocks multiple walnut and collection routes. Buy it when Island West, Dig Site, and Trader priorities no longer block more urgent progress, or when Mermaid and Pirate Cove cleanup are next.
