Scenic Points are collectible landmark locations scattered across Starsand Island. Each scenic point marks a notable location on the island, from dramatic viewpoints and natural wonders to unique structures and hidden spots. When discovered, a scenic point is registered in the player's Islandpedia app on their in-game phone. This adds to the overall completion percentage.
Scenic points encourage exploration beyond the main story quests and daily farm routines. They reward players who venture off the beaten path, climb to high overlooks, and investigate unusual environmental features. Discovering all scenic points is one of the goals for completionist players aiming for 100% Islandpedia progress.
Scenic points are discovered by physically walking into a trigger zone near the landmark location. When the player enters the zone, a notification appears on screen confirming the discovery, and the scenic point is automatically logged in the Islandpedia. There is no interaction prompt or button press required; simply being at the right spot is enough.
The trigger zones are generally located at the most visually impressive vantage point of each landmark. For a clifftop scenic point, the trigger is typically right at the edge where the view is best. For a structure-based scenic point, the trigger is usually at the entrance or the most recognizable feature of the building.
Scenic points that have not yet been discovered do not appear on the Starsand Island Map. Once discovered, they are marked on the map with a scenic point icon, making it easy to track which areas you have already visited and which remain unexplored.
The Islandpedia app on the player's phone includes a dedicated section for scenic points. This section shows the total number of scenic points available on the island, how many you have discovered, and a list of all discovered locations with brief descriptions. Undiscovered scenic points appear as locked entries with no location hints, encouraging players to explore rather than follow a checklist.
The scenic points count contributes to the overall Islandpedia completion percentage alongside other collectible categories (fish, crops, insects, recipes, and more). Players aiming for full completion will need to discover every scenic point on the island.
Scenic points are placed at notable landmarks, natural viewpoints, and unique locations across every region of the island. While a complete list would spoil the exploration experience, the following table includes several confirmed scenic points to give players an idea of where to look.
Scenic Point | Region | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Added in patch 0.3.2537 as a new scenic point. Located near the music-themed shop. | ||
Starsand Lighthouse | Coastal area | The tall lighthouse visible from many parts of the island. Trigger zone is at the base. |
Half-Moon Bay Overlook | Half-Moon Bay | A clifftop viewpoint looking down over the crescent-shaped bay and beach. |
Moonlit Forest Entrance | Moonlit Forest border | The distinctive archway marking the entrance to the forest dungeon area. |
Parrot Ship Docks | The large docking area where the Merchant Ship and other vessels arrive. |
Additional scenic points are located throughout the island's various regions, including mountain peaks, secluded coves, hidden caves, and distinctive rock formations. Thorough exploration of each region, including areas off the main paths, is the best way to find them all.
Explore every region of the island, not just the areas connected to your current quests. Scenic points are spread across the entire map.
Look for locations with unusually good views. Hilltops, cliffsides, and elevated platforms are common scenic point locations.
Check near distinctive structures and landmarks. Unique buildings, unusual rock formations, and notable natural features often have scenic point triggers nearby.
Pay attention to the edges of the map. Coastal cliffs and remote corners of the island often hide scenic points that casual players miss.
Ride a vehicle to cover ground faster when hunting for undiscovered scenic points. The island is large, and walking everywhere takes significantly longer.
After major updates, check patch notes for new scenic points. The Instrument Shop was added in patch 0.3.2537, and future updates may add more.
Discovering scenic points contributes to your overall Islandpedia completion percentage. While individual scenic point discoveries do not grant direct rewards (no Coins, items, or experience), the satisfaction of filling out the Islandpedia and the scenic point map markers that help track your exploration progress are the primary incentives. Completionist players will find that scenic points are among the more enjoyable collectibles to hunt, as each one leads you to a visually impressive part of the island.
