Uvala Široka (44°16′N 14°47′E) on the SE side of Otok Ist is entered between Rt Benuš and the SW entrance to Prolaz Zapuntel. The village of Ist, where there is a small harbour protected by a short mole, stands on the E side of the head of the bay on a low isthmus which separates the bay from Uvala Kosirača. There is a Harbour Authority at Ist. The bay is not recommended as an anchorage as the holding in sand is unreliable and the bay is exposed to all winds.
