Restricted acces only by boat ride. Navy base right in front of break. You may get in by car if with a special local permit. Just head for main beach at Salinas and ask for a ride to Shitbay and set up to pick you up later. They do that.
Just head for Salinas and especially on a big SW swell and get on that boat. If on week days you may surf it all alone! if on a weekend and word has been around about a big swell there maybe 10-15 guys out but if big (7-8 feet) it can handle like 20 people easy.
Overview
Atmosphere
Just be cool and surf fast and nobody will bother you. If you dont surf fast or surf well for a quick take off and chicken our, get fuck out cause you may get people in trouble or pissed.
General
This is a regional a world class wave that very few people have surf out of Ecuador cause is in the Navy area.

"shit bay " is not the "chocolatera"
Ok, it's time to clearify a couple of things:1) the "chocolatera" is located at the north west of the "Airforce" (FAE) part of the military componund (south of the hill), it is rocky, and dangerous.. not surfable. 2) "Shit bay" named (in english) by the US military people who dumped shit there in the 40's and 50's , and it's located at the west of the "navy" (Marina) part of the military compound (north of the hill).3) Don't need to "greese" anyone, get a ride by boat for US$5 and enjoy the best wave , at least in the Salinas area.THE CHOCOLATERA IS NOT SHIT BAY, PLEASE CHEANGE THE NAME
