The Mines in Stardew Valley are in the mountain area to the north of Pelican Town , just northeast of Robin’s Carpenter’s Shop and directly west of the Adventurer’s Guild.

Quick Scoop

If you’re standing in town wondering “where are the mines in Stardew Valley?”, here’s the simple path:

  1. Walk north out of Pelican Town toward the mountains.
  2. Pass by Robin’s Carpenter’s Shop on your right.
  3. Keep going a little further northeast and look for a stone mine entrance near a small bridge.
  1. Right beside it (to the east) is the Adventurer’s Guild , which is a handy landmark.

On a brand‑new save, the mine entrance is blocked by rocks until Spring 5, Year 1 , when you get a letter and the debris is cleared.

Other mining spots later on

Once you’re further along, there are a few more “mine-like” locations you might hear about:

  • The Mines (main mine) – 120 floors deep, in the mountains north of town (the one you unlock on Spring 5).
  • Quarry Mine – A separate little mine whose cave entrance is on the left edge of the Quarry , north of the repaired bridge in the mountain area.
  • Skull Cavern – In the Calico Desert , unlocked after reaching floor 120 of the main Mines and using the Skull Key on the door in the desert’s upper‑left corner.

All of these count as “mines” in casual discussion, but when players say “the Mines” they almost always mean the main mountain entrance north of Robin’s shop.
