Is it safe to go in the water for shallow snorkeling, etc. right next to a river runoff (as far as bacteria, etc more so than concerns of currents)? I'm taking a trip with my family late November and am looking at a couple of places to stay up North that are at an unmanaged beach right next to two river mouths. If you are familiar with the area, it's the beach just east of Imadomari village with a river mouth on both sides. Being able to enjoy the beach and water right from our place is the main draw, so if we'd have to hop in a car I'd look at other options. Thanks!
