Apparently I was not paying attention somewhere along the line, but I cant figure out how to get to the new quest location for Act 2.

I'm pretty sure during the introductory quest for that zone you have to light a lighthouse, that would be active as a fast travel point.

I assume you mean on the 2nd island? I dont see anything. God Ive tried looking at some walkthoughs but they all just say go to the quest location, and explain from there glossing over how to leave the island.

Ok never mind i found it thanks! Didnt see a fast travel Icon, and I couldnt get back through Kaneda castle.
