There is considerable night life there on weekends and during the daytime on weekends there is a farmers market, the ferry to SF and sometimes art shows outside or boat shows...on a scale of 1-10 I'd say its a 6 for safety at night alone; but as anytime one is out alone, stay alert and don't wander aimlessly to make yourself an easy target for anything untoward.
