The name is a corruption of "Breaker Island" due to the waves that break on it. It was also known as "Long Island" at one point.==Geography==Bleaker Island is long, narrow and low-lying and the southern tip of the Island is separated from Lafonia by a thin stretch of water named 'The Jump'. It has an area of {{convert|20.70|km2}} and is {{convert|19|km}} long. The island is no wider than {{convert|2.5|km|mi|abbr=on}} at any point and tapers to several thin necks of land at various points down its length. The highest point is Semaphore Hill, at {{convert|27|m}}. The western shores of Bleaker Island are low-lying and fringed by shallow stone beaches. The east coast of the island is characterised by low cliffs, interspersed with sand and pebble beaches and gulches and is directly exposed to the Atlantic Ocean. The island has several large ponds and the most impressive beach is the {{convert|2|km}} 'Sandy Bay'.{{cite web|url = http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/sitefactsheet.php?id=20846|publisher = BirdLife Znternational|year = 2012|title = Important Bird Areas factsheet: Bleaker Island Group|accessdate = 3 November 2012}} External links
