Turkey Island is a small, uninhabited island located off the coast of Sussex, England. Situated in the English Channel, it is part of the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm, a major renewable energy project.

Covering an area of approximately 1.4 hectares, Turkey Island is characterized by its low-lying and flat terrain. The island is primarily composed of sand and shingle, with sparse vegetation and no established wildlife population. Due to its proximity to the mainland, it is often used as a nesting site for several species of birds, including gulls and cormorants.

In recent years, Turkey Island has gained significance as it became part of the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm. The wind farm consists of 116 turbines that generate clean and renewable energy, providing electricity to thousands of homes in the region. Turkey Island serves as an important infrastructure component of the wind farm, housing a substation that collects and transmits the generated electricity to the mainland via undersea cables.

Access to Turkey Island is restricted due to its industrial purpose and the need to ensure safety for workers and the integrity of the wind farm. Therefore, it is not open to the public and does not offer any recreational activities or amenities. However, it serves as a symbol of the region's commitment to sustainable energy sources and reducing carbon emissions.
